You can help students unlock their potential, gain confidence, take control of their futures, by equipping them with the tools to achieve their dreams.
Vision Statement
We envision a world where young people have the skillset and mindset to build thriving communities.
Junior Achievement of Central Texas (a member of JA Worldwide) is a non-profit organization that inspires and prepares young people for success.
Junior Achievement is reimagining education to expand opportunity by helping students connect what they are learning today to where they want to go tomorrow. Through hands-on learning, career exploration, and financial education, students gain the knowledge, confidence, and skills to make informed decisions, achieve economic mobility, and succeed in a rapidly changing world, with a focus on creating real outcomes that prepare them for what’s next.
Join us as we honor three exceptional visionaries, two business leaders and one educator, whose vision, leadership, and commitment to opportunity reflect the mission of Junior Achievement.
Together, we will celebrate their impact, learn how JA empowers students for future success, and connect with Austin’s leading business and community changemakers.
Volunteering
Junior Achievement’s unique volunteer delivery system provides community mentors with the training, materials, and support necessary to bolster the chances of student success. The impact is measurable, too. Students who participate in JA Learning Experiences demonstrate a significant understanding of economics and business concepts.
Whether you're looking to mentor an emerging entrepreneur, attract new talent to your industry, or ensure all of our local youth have an opportunity to participate in our region's economic engine, we have an opportunity for you.
