About JA:
JA started with a vision to help teach young people about business and free enterprise- educating youth about financial literary, work readiness, and entrepreneurship. Now in over 121 countries, JA brings volunteers together with over 10.2 million of our future leaders.
The JA Southern Alberta charter was launched in 1960 and now operates through 8 offices across southern Alberta, reaching almost 30,000 students in grades 4-12 every year. With the help of local school boards, companies dedicated to youth success, multiple Rural Leadership Councils, and a committed board, we are positioned to grow even further.
