Junior Achievement brings volunteers from the business community into classrooms to teach kids topics they need to be successful, how to determine their dream career, and the steps they need to achieve it. JA ensures our students are prepared to become the future leaders of South Dakota.
JA bridges the gap between the classroom and workplace through community role models who offer students real-life experiences through activities and hands-on learning.
Our volunteers are equipped with the necessary tools and materials to teach students about finances, leadership, future employment, and ethical decisions before stepping out into the real-world.
