Junior Achievement of Northwest Florida, Inc.

JA Core Purpose: To inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.

Junior Achievement of Northwest Florida is businesspeople, educators and others who volunteer their time in our local schools. Using nationally developed curriculum and hands-on experience, they help young people understand the economics of life.

Junior Achievement programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities.
