Where We’re Headed

Reaching the next generation – 1 millionth student campaign

This region-wide campaign honors our legacy while looking boldly toward the future. As we work to identify and celebrate our 1 millionth student, we are also evolving our role in the region’s education and workforce landscape. Junior Achievement is not only preparing young people to succeed—we are positioning ourselves as a catalyst for ecosystem-level change.

We are deepening our partnerships with school districts, community organizations, economic development agencies, and employers to create sustainable pathways from education to employment. Our work increasingly focuses on systems alignment—ensuring students gain not just knowledge, but access to real opportunities, industry credentials, mentorship, and entrepreneurship support. Whether through early financial education or advanced entrepreneurial training, JA is building the infrastructure for long-term wealth creation and economic mobility.
