Junior Achievement is dedicated to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed, through programs which focus on financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship. We envision a world in which young people have the skillset and mindset to build thriving communities.
We provide essential business and life skills which empower students to build their own successful futures and help to close the opportunity gap. Our programs are designed to meet the needs of local schools and students, through in-person or virtual delivery models. We are committed to delivering practical, relevant, and innovative learning experiences that prepare young people to succeed in their careers and to manage their personal finances.
FALL 2023: JAGFC staff continue to work on a hybrid in office schedule. Staff can be reached by email and mobile phone. For more information, please contact ja@jagfc.org

JA PARTNER OF THE MONTH
Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) is a model partner for JA. As a loyal JA supporter for over ten years, BI contributes through their charitable foundation and with dedicated employee volunteers. In the 2022-23 school year, dozens of BI employees gave their time for a very successful JA in a Day at Westside Middle School Academy in Danbury and for an engaging healthcare career panel at Danbury High School. We are so grateful for BI’s commitment to JA, our mission, and our students!
