About Us
Junior Achievement of the Inland Northwest serves young people in grades kindergarten through 12th grade in Eastern Washington and North Idaho.
We use hands-on experiences to help young people understand the economics of life. In partnership with business and educators, JA brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential. The dynamic interaction between the volunteer and the students promotes active learning and brings theory to life.
The Junior Achievement Board of Directors is composed of successful, experienced business and education leaders who are engaged and excited about positively impacting young people. The JA Board members are passionate advocates for JA's core purpose, providing both personal and organizational leadership and support.
Businesses, foundations, and individuals support JA because they understand the tremendous need for a well-educated work force and appreciate the value in their investments. JA investors believe that education is the essential component of success for young people. JA enables companies and individuals to share their success with kids and inspire them to reach their future potential.
