Supporting Students

At Junior Achievement, student centered is not "extra" work. It's mission central. 

Supporting students means making sure that each child can see themselves through the educators and volunteers they connect with, the JA curriculum, and the experiences they engage with. 

You DO make a difference! Here are resources to help you be even more effective.
