Junior Achievement of Wisconsin - Portage & Wood Counties Area

Junior Achievement has over 100 local JA Areas across the country. Together, we are the nation's largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their futures, and make smart academic and economic choices. JA programs instill in students the skills to break the chains of poverty, achieve their educational goals, and aspire to a career in which they will excel. Our programs support the vision of a world where students have the skillset and mindset to help build thriving communities.

Working with local businesses, volunteers, schools and teachers, we provide educational programs to students from kindergarten through high school. Volunteers can help in the classroom, an after-school program or one of our annual community events. Our mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed.
