Junior Achievement In-Class Programs

Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans, Inc. offers a full Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade complement of programs to students in public, private, and parochial schools in our twelve-parish franchise area.  Not only do our programs inspire students to succeed at every grade level, JA’s curriculum is correlated to the benchmarks in social studies, making it a perfect partnership for classroom teachers to utilize in meeting Louisiana’s economics mandate. 

JA has adapted its approach to keep up with the changes in society and technology.  Our array of programs taught by volunteers help young people recognize how their talent and abilities can create better lives for themselves and those around them.  Partnerships with more than 140 schools and learning sites along with the corporate community, with professional organizations, with parent organizations and with local universities have enabled us to impact more than 22,000 students in school year 2007-2008.
