Junior Achievement of Central Maryland’s (JA) mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in the global economy.

JA is committed to equipping young people with the knowledge and skills needed to take charge of their financial well-being, strategize for their futures, and make informed academic and economic decisions. JA's programs—in the core content areas of career readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy— inspire Maryland youth to discover and embrace the wide range of opportunities within their reach. These lessons align with national and state educational standards and are delivered to millions of students across the country with the help of our education partners and volunteers from the local community. The inspiration piece comes from community volunteers who not only deliver our lessons but share their experience. In the process, these volunteers serve as role models helping to positively impact young people’s perceptions about the importance of education, as well as critical life skills.

Preparation involves our proven lessons that promote financial capability, work and career readiness, and business ownership. JA's programs ignite the spark in young people to experience and realize the opportunities and realities of work and life in the 21st century.
