## About

###### Junior Achievement of Northern California helps prepare today's students for a bright future by empowering, inspiring, and preparing youth for future economic success.

###### JA of Northern California's volunteer-delivered, kindergarten-12th grade programs foster work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills, and use experiential learning to inspire students in our community to dream big and reach their potential. JA's suite of grade-specific programs are designed to be interactive and utilize a blended-learning approach that enables students to apply their learnings to life inside and outside of school. JA provides the training, curriculum, on-going support, and classrooms for the volunteers.
