JA provides services to thousands of students in Central Virginia every year - from K-12, at all area schools. JA enjoys strong community support and excellent programs focusing on financial literacy, ethics in the workplace and many other programs throughout the year. JA provides important assistance to the community - and they allow us the opportunity to volunteer and work with kids of all ages from across the region as they enhance their skills and learn to become productive members of society.
