Junior Achievement offers financial literacy, college and career readiness, and entrepreneurship education to students in grades K-12. JA empowers 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. Volunteers play a key role in bringing Junior Achievement to life. By sharing your personal and professional experiences and skills with local students, you help them achieve the skills they need to succeed in work and life. Junior Achievement makes volunteering fulfilling, with flexible scheduling options. Our curriculum provides everything you need to make participation in JA interactive and engaging for students. By sharing your time and expertise, you can make a difference in the lives of young people in our community. JA North is headquartered in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, with district offices in Bismarck-Mandan (ND), Fargo (ND), Mankato, New Ulm, Owatonna and St. Cloud. Satellite operations extend our reach even further in Minnesota, North Dakota and western Wisconsin.
