关于我们
At Junior Achievement, we give young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. Our corporate and community volunteers deliver relevant, hands-on experiences that give students from kindergarten through high school knowledge and skills in financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. JA programs empower students to make a connection between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the real world – enhancing the relevance of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school. Junior Achievement of Northern California, the local chapter of Junior Achievement USA?, was founded in 1950 with the mission of inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. Working in partnership with annual 4,700 educators, community, and corporate volunteers, we provide JA programs each year to 90,000 K-12th grade students across 23 counties in Northern California.

Proud to have hosted a successful JA Entrepreneurship Summit at Mountain View-Los Altos Union High School District! Our 122 student participants gained valuable insights into the entrepreneurial journey and learned that sharing ideas is key to success. One student shared, "The steps that entrepreneurs take was pretty interesting, and designing our own product was fun." We extend our sincere gratitude to our esteemed panelists, Darrell Young Founder & CEO of Karmeq) and Ryan Drake-Lee (Founder & CEO of RDL Economics, Strategy & Operations Consulting LLC), for their valuable insights and inspiration.

Aligning on priorities this week with our Junior Achievement of Northern California Board of Directors at our Annual Retreat hosted at Cisco. We focused on the huge opportunity in front of us as a solution to the California state mandate for Personal Finance Education for all High School Students and the power of paid work experiences for high school students to give them the opportunity to see the connection between education and the world of work. Grateful to Denise Lee Yeh for her exceptional leadership and warm hospitality. #FinancialLiteracy #CareerConnectedEducation #BoundlessPossibilities
