About This Cause
Junior Achievement (JA) is a nonprofit youth organization whose core purpose is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. In partnership with the education and business communities, JA is transforming the student experience by bringing relevance, authenticity and application into everyday learning to energize students around academics and their future possibilities. Junior Achievement’s success lies in our unique program model which includes these distinct features: • Delivery system using diverse volunteers who serve as instructors in the classroom. • Flexible, proven curriculum and activities enhanced by volunteers’ personal experiences. • Experience-based learning that enables students to gain knowledge through hands-on activities that show the relationship between learning and successful application. Our programs have helped tens of thousands of students master essential academic and workplace skills all over Oregon and SW Washington. We have a strong, statewide infrastructure, including operations in Eugene, Klamath Falls, Medford and Portland. This allows us to get vital programming to the people that need it the most, underserved and rural populations, as well as thousands of students in urban and suburban areas.
