Junior Achievement's Mission:To inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.Junior Achievement empowers young people to own their future economic success by enhancing the relevancy of education. At every grade level JA programs expose students to basic business concepts and the skills that enable them to understand real-life economics. With this knowledge, they build an understanding regarding economic choices and the resulting consequences of each decision. This prepares them for economically independent futures based on strong economic knowledge and solid personal financial management skills.Lemonade Day is a free community-wide educational program designed to teach youth how to start, own and operate their own business- a lemonade stand!Lemonade Day is a strategic 14-step process that walks youth from a dream to a business plan, while teaching them the same principles required to start any big company.
