Junior Achievement
Junior Achievement Worldwide is the world's largest organization dedicated to educating young people about business, economics, and free enterprise. We believe that partnering business and education is the key to strengthening the communities we serve and promoting empowerment for future leaders.
Last year we reachedover 12,000 students in grades 3 through 12 (majority in Edmonton) with our volunteer driven, in class programs. This year our goal is to impact over 16,000 of Alberta's youth in Edmonton, Northern Alberta and NWT, and we need your help to do it!Teaching a JA class is an incredibly rewarding experience which allows volunteers to both develop professionally, as well as positively impact and inspire the lives of Alberta's youth.
