Junior Achievement of New York offers in-school, after-school, and summer programs for students in grades K—12. Each year, with the help of volunteers, close to 100,000 students across New York City and Long Island learn hands-on what they need to achieve success.
JANY's K—12 programs inspire young people to be successful by providing them with the tools, strategies, and motivation to thrive in school, in the workplace, and in life. The JANY curriculum correlates with and enhances New York State and City social studies standards and teaches students about business, economics, life skills, and communication.
JA's unique approach integrates program materials, training, and support.
