Programs | Junior Achievement of Greater Kansas City

With multiple touchpoints throughout a student’s K-12 education, JA of Greater Kansas City’s programming will equip students to move forward into their post-high-school experience with confidence, a plan and an understanding of what it takes to conquer their careers.

Junior Achievement of Greater Kansas City aims to be:

Recognized by school districts as the premier provider of experiential education for students

Recognized by the community as the leader in experiential learning for young people

Recognized by young people as a key factor in their journey to economic success

Junior Achievement’s longest-standing model of curriculum is in the classroom. Aligning with state and national education standards, JA works with you to provide lessons in financial literacy, workforce readiness and entrepreneurship at your school or organization.

JA BizTown®, presented by CommunityAmerica Credit Union, combines classroom learning with a field trip opportunity to a simulated Kansas City economy. Students are given a job in a storefront and learn about teamwork, earning & spending money, voting and more. JA BizTown connects the dots between their in-school lessons and the real-world.
