About Us

A sound understanding of personal finance and the workforce is self-defense for all people, especially at-risk, under-served youth. The reality is that even basic money management and career readiness skills—like balancing a checkbook, the wise use of credit cards, resume-writing, and interviewing techniques—are not taught in many schools, leaving young people ill-equipped to begin a self-sufficient life.

In preparation for the responsibilities of adulthood, JANNE engages students in grades k-12 in financial literacy and workforce readiness education and entrepreneurship training in school classrooms and at corporate and community partners' sites. The Junior Achievement (JA) proven, theme-based programs are aligned to the math, English and/or social studies Common Core Standards and support concepts required for success on standardized testing.

JA's professionally-designed curriculum is always up-to-date with current educational priorities and is as relevant today as at its founding in 1919. All JA programs are delivered at no cost to the schools, community partners, or the youth we serve.
