Frequently Asked Questions: What is Junior Achievement? JA is a non-profit economic education organization that provides programs for young people in grades K-12. Volunteers from local businesses and the community go into area classrooms to teach professionally designed programs and share their personal experience with students. Our volunteers add a fresh perspective to the classroom, as the personal and interactive experience generates excitement, facilitates learning, and engages all types of students. What’s in it for me?
