Mission: Junior achievement of south dakota inspires and prepares young people to succeed in the global economy. Our volunteer-delivered, experiential programs give students knowledge and skills in financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. Junior achievement helps to enhance the relevance of students' classroom learning and increase their understanding of the value of staying in school.
Programs: Program service one: junior achievement's sequential and integrated k-12 programs help young people relate what they learn today in school to future successes in life and work. Providing young people with the tools to think critically, solve problems, use information, interact with others, and work as a team are all elements critical to their roles as productive members of the workforce and community. Volunteers are a vital source of inspiration and motivation for young people. These classroom volunteers help young people better understand economic concepts as a first step in making a successful transition from school to work. During the 2014-15 school year, over 2,000 classroom volunteers provided 50,013 south dakota students the much-needed link between what students learn in school and the business world. Student impact: 50,013 ja students reached in 2014-15.
