The JA Dream Accelerator is an interactive and responsive career exploration experience at JA’s St. Paul experiential learning center. This exciting experience inspires students to realize their strengths and interests and develop a plan to pursue a meaningful career and future. Student are motivated from insights from community entrepreneurs and career speakers from local companies, tailored to each student's interests and aptitudes. Volunteers guide students through each of the interactives and share their own real-life experiences to encourage students to think deeply about their futures.
JA North is proud to be one of the JA areas piloting this program during the 25.26 school year. Originally developed by JA - Rocky Mountain in Denver, the curriculum and simulation is being developed by JA USA for national use. JA North will debut the national version in February 2026 in our own Dream Accelerator experiential learning lab at our St. Paul headquarters. Stay tuned for a localized version as well as a mobile option to come.
