Transforming lives of Caribbean Youth

Junior Achievement is one of the world’s largest non-profit organizations dedicated to addressing fundamental social and economic challenges of young people by educating and empowering them to transform their future and own their economic success.

Our programmes and activities welcome students of all ages, from primary school to higher education. The synergy of entrepreneurial teachers, motivated business mentors and high-quality content are key success factors to the JA student experience. Any student, at any age, should have access to the best opportunities for active participation in business and community life.

We believe that every young person can achieve success in today’s global economy.

Working in partnership with the business community, educators, mentors, volunteers and alumni, Junior Achievement inspires young people to dream big and reach their potential.

Through the delivery of cutting-edge, experiential learning in financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship, Junior Achievement effectively broadens the canvas of possibility for young people and enhances their ability to both engage in their own economic development and contribute to the strength of their families, communities, and economies.

Over the last 50 years, JA Programs have touched the lives of nearly one million young people in the Eastern and Southern Caribbean.
