MISSION

Our mission is the part JA plays in a wider vision for the future and represents the day-to-day work we do for the millions of young people we serve. Through JA, youth are inspired and prepared to succeed in whatever the global economy brings.

VISION

We envision a world in which young people have the skillset and mindset to build thriving communities. Our work contributes to this vision, of course. But the vision is bigger than JA. We may never reach all 2 billion global youth, but by advocating for experiential learning in every school in the world, and by nurturing partnerships with schools and other like-minded organizations, we envision a world in which no young person is left behind.

VALUES

Six values reflect the culture of the JA network and raise the bar for our interactions within and outside of the JA network;
1. Believe in the boundless potential
2. Advocate for the impact of relevant, hands-on learning
3. Teach princpled, market-based economics and entrepreneurship that build a more sustainable world
4. Approach our work with passion, honesty, integrity & excellence
5. Seek out diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and talents in our staff, volunteers, and boards to reflects the geographies and communities we server
6. Nurture the power of partnership & collaboration
