Established in September 2006, Junior Achievement India (JA India) is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating students about entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs. In partnership with businesses and educators, JA brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential by providing a proven bridge between education and industry. Through age-appropriate curricula, JA programs begin at the elementary school level, teaching children how they can impact the world around them as individuals, workers and consumers. JA programs continue through the middle and high school grades to under-graduate years, preparing students for future economic and workforce issues they'll face. JA does all this with the help of volunteers.
