Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

JA's goal is to impact the lives of tomorrow's workforce by providing a connection between what is learned in school and the real world. JA programs are designed to bridge the gap between education and reaching career goals.

JA focuses primarily on economically disadvantaged schools and communities and strives to provide programs where the need is the greatest.

JA of South Texas delivers volunteer led hands on experiential learning programs to students. These age appropriate programs are developed nationally by Junior Achievement USA. These programs focus on the three pillars of JA education which are work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy.

By building lasting relationships with corporate, foundation and individual donors, Junior Achievement of South Texas has sustained impact of its meaningful programs for many years. As students complete JA programs they are given the tools needed to set education and career goals and in turn become contributing members of the community.
