Junior Achievement of Kentuckiana meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Incorporated in 1949, Junior Achievement’s age-appropriate classroom and experiential programs begin at the elementary school level, teaching children how they can influence the world around them as individuals, workers and consumers. The learning continues through the middle and high school grades, as students prepare for the economic and workforce issues they will face in the future. The three pillars of JA program content are: Financial Literacy, Workforce Readiness and Entrepreneurship. Curriculum is correlated with state and local learning standards. JA uses classroom lessons taught by volunteers and teachers, as well as hands-on experiences in Sam Swope JA BizTown® and Chase Finance Park™ to help young people understand the economics of life. Locally, JA serves 44,000 students with programs in 26 counties in Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
