With rising costs and only about half of Americans financially literate, the need for financial education has never been greater. At Junior Achievement, we believe financial literacy is just as fundamental as reading and writing. In fact, over two-thirds of JA alumni aged 18-29 are financially independent—a testament to the impact of our programs. Join us in preparing the next generation with the skills for a successful financial future. #FinancialEducation #JAAlumni #FutureReady
