Junior Achievement of Arizona
Welcome to Junior Achievement of Arizona, situated in Tucson. Our purpose is to address a concerning issue: a substantial number of Arizona CEOs worry about the inadequate skill set of employees, impacting their workplace success. Notably, over half of those under 30 struggle with budgeting, carrying an average debt exceeding $45,000, with 12% facing unemployment. Our mission is to equip the next generation with vital skills, ensuring they can thrive and pursue their dreams, as they are the architects of our future economy and community.
Backed by collaborative efforts from educational, business, and volunteer partners, we are shaping a transformative landscape. Through community mentors, we educate students on financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurial thinking, fostering stability, a better-trained workforce, a resilient economy, and stronger families. By joining Junior Achievement of Arizona, you become part of a movement that empowers youth, transcending boundaries for a brighter tomorrow.
