Junior Achievement's focus is to help students understand the importance of staying in school and to positively impact one of the biggest economic and social issues facing our country- the high school graduation rate. The practical business knowledge and personal economics skills taught by Junior Achievement help improve the quality of students' lives and facilitate workplace readiness. 

Junior Achievement  of Washington serving Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho reinforces the value of an education to young people in grades kindergarten through 12th grade.

We use hands-on experiences to help young people understand the economics of life. In partnership with business and educators, JA brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential. The dynamic interaction between the volunteer and the students promotes active learning and brings theory to life.
