Why Junior Achievement needs you...

The vast majority (96%) of employees feel it is important for the American workforce to become more entrepreneurial in order to keep America competitive in the global market. (Gallup poll)

The future workforce is here – and is woefully ill-prepared for the demands of today’s and tomorrow’s workplace. (U.S. employer survey)

The financial preparedness of our nation's youth is essential to their well-being and of vital importance to our economic future. (Ben Bernanke)

Junior Achievement volunteers make a difference, providing knowledge and skills that help our youth make good choices and develop a sense of hope for the future. Junior Achievement of Greater St. Louis is a member of Junior Achievement USA - an organization that operates in over 120 areas in the United States and reaches 4 million students.
