JSA or Junior State of America's mission is to strengthen American democracy by educating and preparing high school students for life-long involvement and responsible leadership in a democratic society. The AMAZING part about JSA that separate's it from any other organization is that it is STUDENT RUN! From the conventions to the chapter conferences, we the students, learn about STATESMANSHIP as they engage in political discourse. We cultivate democratic leadership skills, challenge one another to think critically, advocate our own opinions, develop respect for opposing views and learn to rise above self-interest to promote the public good. I attended my first Summer School Program at Stanford through JSA. It was the most challenging experience I have ever partaken in. I feel more that prepared for college! Having been to over 9 conventions I can say JSA conventions are a time of pure bliss filled intriguing debates, inspiring speakers and friendships that last a lifetime! It's something you don't want to miss. I would recommend JSA to any and EVERY high school student to get involved. It is through JSA I found my voice and now my opinion is being heard making a difference in the world!
