Junior Achievement (JA) Africa inspires and prepares young Africans, especially underserved and marginalized youth such as girls in low-income communities, with financial literacy and entrepreneurship skills they need to create and own their future success. Beneficiaries of JA Africa programs build the skill set and mindset they need not only for personal success but also to build thriving communities.

Traditional education systems in Africa do not adequately prepare youth for the world of work so through hands-on, experiential programs, JA Africa equips young Africans with financial literacy, digital literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship skills for future success. In addition to core JA programs, JA Africa also offers leadership camps, innovation camps, Job Shadows and internship programs that empower marginalized youth, particularly girls, to become problem solvers and change agents in their societies.

JA Africa operates in 13 countries and empowers over 300,000 youth annually.
