INSPIRING

THE NEXT GENERATION. From humble beginnings come great things. It's the American dream. If you take the rudder and choose a direction, you can control your future. Junior Achievement believes in the boundless potential of every young person and in inspiring the next generation to harness the vision to excel and navigate their path to success in the modern economy.

At Junior Achievement of Greater Washington, we believe that to truly inspire the region’s young people we must build a bridge from the classroom to the future. We also believe that any path to success is paved by a sound foundation of financial literacy, meaningful workplace experiences, entrepreneurial skills and real role models who can show kids how to harness the vision to excel.

The job market and economy are uncertain.

What is certain is that Junior Achievement graduates will be more prepared to make the right choices and are less likely to become saddled with debt. In fact, 90 percent of Junior Achievement graduates report they felt significantly more confident in their ability to make the right choices in life.
