Junior Achievement
Junior Achievement (JA) teaches students about money, careers and owning a business. Thanks to more than 2,100 JA classroom volunteers who committed to teaching JA programs, over 52,000 South Dakota students are being inspired and prepared to succeed in a global economy.
By sharing their personal and professional experiences, JA volunteers guide students to make the connection between what they are learning in school and what they will need to succeed in work and life.
Please take a moment to extend a special thank you to the volunteers and teachers listed below who participated in JA during the 2016-17 school year. Because of this teacher/JA volunteer partnership, our future leaders are being educated and empowered. JA is giving students hope for a better future and preparing them to achieve their dreams.
If you would be interested in sharing your knowledge and business experience with students in our community, or would like to sponsor a student for $25, please contact the JA office at (605)336-7318 or [email protected]. A Junior Achievement experience will leave you feeling proud, energized, and hopeful about a better future for our young people.
