Supporting Youth Economic Empowerment through Junior Achievement ProgramsAt — Junior Achievement of Northern California

Junior Achievement's proven lessons in financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship are shown to positively impact the lives of young people. These lessons align with national and state educational standards and are delivered to millions of students across the country with the help of our education partners and volunteers from the local community.

Each semester, the Central Coast JA team will work with CSUMB Service Learning to tailor a small number of meaningful projects to meet the goals and needs of CSUMB students. Explore all JA programs here: https://norcal.ja.org.
