JA of Catawba County

Junior Achievement has been providing business and
economic education programs in Catawba County
since the early 1980's.

Throughout its rich history, Junior Achievement has
developed a trustworthy relationship with its partners -
schools, administrators, businesses and parents.

There is no better way to get involved
with the future success of our students
than through Junior Achievement.

With a minimal commitment, you will play a large part in
providing young people skills, knowledge and motivation needed
to be successful in school, in the workplace and in life.
