Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest mentored K-12 students with nearly 900,000 contact hours last year.  We do this through our age-appropriate curriculum that begins in elementary school. These students learn how they can impact the world around them as individuals, workers and consumers.  Our programs continue through the middle grades and high school, where we focus on key content areas of entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy.  Throughout JA's programs students use information, apply basic skills think critically and solve complex problems.
