Many students excel in science, technology, engineering, or math but don't know what career field they can pursue. JA introduces many young people to professions and career paths that they may not have been aware of, such as those in STEM, by bringing volunteer role models from the community into the classroom to share their experiences with students. Contact us today to learn how you can help young people pursue their dreams.

About us
At Junior Achievement of Alabama (JA), we believe that we have a responsibility to transform the preparedness of our youth from a mission into a movement. We believe that together, with business and education partners, we can inspire an entire generation to be financially capable, equipped with 21st century skills to think outside the box, manage risk effectively, and welcome opportunity in a complex modern economy. Our volunteer-delivered, k-12th grade programs, foster work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills, and use experiential learning to inspire students to dream big and reach their potential. JA inspires students to develop competitive skills and confidence, and their success bolsters the local workforce and contributes to economic growth. JA is more than small business and lemonade stands. Together with our business, community, and education partners, we are working to empower the next generation to transform "I can't" into "I can" and their dreams into plans. Through our network of more than 1,555 dedicated volunteers, JA currently served 35,703 K-12 students statewide in 2022-2023, with 154 schools and 155,891 contact hours.
