ONE T H I N G 2024 ANNUALREPORT
U.S.
WELCOME
Dear Supporters of Junior Achievement:
This past year was a momentous one for Junior Achievement (JA) on several fronts. One of the most significant was the retirement of Jack E. Kosakowski as President and CEO of Junior Achievement USA on June 30, 2024, after an illustrious 50-year career with JA. This marked the transition of leadership to Jack Harris, who now serves as CEO of Junior Achievement USA after a 20-year career with the organization, starting at JA International (predecessor to JA Worldwide), and serving as President of JA of Georgia, and as founder and CEO of 3DE National As you will see in the following pages, JA is in one of the strongest positions in its history, and this change of leadership will build upon a heralded legacy in a way that positions JA to continue taking on the challenges facing our nation’s young people and communities
The theme of this year’s annual report is “The One Thing” Ask people what’s the one thing they wish they learned in school, and in most cases, it will be something like “how to manage money,” or “the role of education in preparing for a job or career.” While the desire to learn such life skills is very relatable to most of us, it also speaks to a disconnect that’s occurring between how we educate young people, and the expectations society will have for them as adults.
There is a fundamental misalignment between how we prepare young people for the future, and the realities of what that future will entail.
At Junior Achievement, we are committed to affecting positive change in the young people we serve, their families, communities, and our nation as a whole. Essential skills, like those promoted by Junior Achievement, are not a “nice to have” but a “need to have” If our youth can’t make the connection between what they learn in school and life outside the classroom, they won’t be able to achieve their potential as adults, and we will all lose
This year’s annual report covers how we are going about making a difference and how, with your help, we will start today in creating a better tomorrow for us all

Empowering Futures and Preparing Young People for Success!
Staples has been a significant partner for Junior Achievement USA, contributing both financially and through volunteer efforts This partnership is a shining example of how corporate and nonprofit organizations can work together to make a difference in the lives of young people By providing educational support, mentorship, and real-world experiences, this alliance is helping to shape the leaders of tomorrow
Born from an introduction by CEO Rad Nova from JA of Greater Boston, a very successful national pilot quickly evolved to become a major multi-year partnership where Staples delivers work and career readiness learning experiences to JA students and alumni from Middle School to Young Adults. This partnership includes local program support and volunteer engagement in eight communities served by JA, along with support for two national student events, aligning with Staples' philanthropic and community engagement priorities
Through the partnership, Staples is able to support JA’s programs nationwide, but also has the flexibility to make a difference at a local level, involving Staples' employees in volunteering and mentoring roles This fosters a stronger sense of community involvement and personal connection, making the impact more tangible for participants For example:
Staples volunteers participated in the JA Job Shadow experience with JA of Central Florida, helping students learn about different career opportunities and the importance of professional development.
In partnership with JA of Central Iowa, Staples volunteers provided students with valuable career advice and mentorship through panel discussions and hands-on activities.
A collaboration with JA of Georgia, Staples volunteers participated in JA Finance Park, teaching students about fiscal responsibility and financial literacy
And in Boston (near Staples’ Corporate Headquarters) the impact of Staples' partnership with JA of Greater Boston has been profound and multifaceted with initiatives that include JA Job Shadow, JA Inspire Career Expo, 3DE by JA, sponsorship support for the launch of a brand new JA Innovation Center at a local high school, and JA Career Pathway for Alumni
10
The JA Career Pathway for Alumni program prepares young people for their first real work experience following high school graduation The program includes workshops on adaptability, networking, professional branding, and more Following the workshops, students are placed in paid internships with companies across various industries, including Staples
Staples is also a proud Presenting Sponsor of JA’s 2025 Future Bound national event, set to take place in Atlanta, Georgia at Georgia State University from June 16-18. Future Bound encourages JA high school students to sharpen their business skills, innovation, and personal and professional development, preparing them for life after high school, college, and adulthood. Staples was a Title Sponsor of the 2024 Junior Achievement National Student Leadership Summit (NSLS), held in Washington, DC, from June 9-13, contributing to the event’s success
Additionally, Staples has amplified its support for Junior Achievement in 2024-2026 by pledging $1 million to the organization and supporting JA’s inaugural “Take a Child to Work Day and Beyond” This initiative allows children to experience a day in the life of adults at work
These examples highlight the significant impact that Staples' partnership with Junior Achievement USA has had on various communities, providing students with valuable skills, experiences, and mentorship opportunities, helping them prepare for successful careers and closing opportunity and wealth gaps in their communities.

“As experts in the world of work and as a company of caring people, Staples is proud to continue our legacy of community involvement through our partnership with Junior Achievement USA,” said John Lederer, CEO, Staples, Inc. “JA students have very bright futures ahead as entrepreneurs, leaders and business experts, and we’re pleased to play a role in building the experts of tomorrow.”
TacoBell Foundation
In 2023-2024, the Taco Bell Foundation granted over $16M to provide high school students in more than 55 Taco Bell Foundation market areas with the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices This partnership connects Taco Bell franchise owners and employees with students in their communities allowing them to share their personal business and entrepreneurial experience alongside proven JA curriculum.
During this school year, more than 44,000 high school students benefited from Taco Bell Foundation’s generosity. The Foundation’s support allowed more than 2,200 volunteers – both community volunteers and Taco Bell employees – to impact students through JA programming.
Classes funded by the Taco Bell Foundation occurred in schools with significant percentages of Low and Moderate Income (LMI) students On average, JA programming was provided in classrooms with LMI percentages greater than 74 percent, reflecting our commitment to a focused impact on at-risk students
Taco Bell Foundation joined JA USA as a partner during the 2019-2020 school year with over $55M contributed to date The partnership continues to grow in financial support and new cities added year over year We are grateful to collaborate with Taco Bell Foundation to prepare young people for the challenges of tomorrow

Addressing the Disengaged Youth Dilemma
One in eight young people between the ages of 16 and 24 in the United States are not working, in education, or in training. This disconnection may be symptomatic of long-term disengagement happening in our schools, where 40 to 60 percent of high school students are considered “chronically disengaged” from the educational experience. Factors that contribute to this disengagement include outmoded educational practices that fail to engage today’s learners, an inability to connect the relevance of what’s being taught in school to life outside the classroom, and classroom environments where students often feel isolated from educators and peers
At Junior Achievement, we believe that addressing this one thing, the disengaged youth dilemma, will result in significantly improved outcomes for the young people we serve, their families, communities, and our nation as a whole
We see disengagement as one of the byproducts of a misalignment between what and how students are taught and societal needs and expectations As a result, too many young people reach adulthood ill-prepared with essential life skills, such as work and career readiness, financial capability, and even an entrepreneurial mindset, to achieve their potential as adults. This misalignment presents itself as a lack of motivation and adaptability, difficulties with interpersonal communication, unrealistic expectations, and the struggle for meaning and purpose in the workplace, characteristics employers often ascribe to Generation Z.
Through its proven learning experiences, Junior Achievement addresses this misalignment by promoting student engagement and growth mindsets through experiential learning delivered in collaboration with partners in the business community that helps young people understand why what they learn in school is important to achieving goals later in life. JA emphasizes transferable skills and competencies, not only by helping students gain knowledge but by influencing attitudinal shifts that lead to improved behavioral outcomes, which result in improved educational and academic achievement, including better informed perceptions of postsecondary pathways outside of traditional college Finally, JA gives young people access to networks and opportunities, such as mentors, internships, job shadowing, and peer networks that help them overcome the isolation felt by so many teens and young adults today
THEWAYS JAENGAGES
ENHANCED CONTENT AND CURRICULUM
While Junior Achievement began in 1919 as an extracurricular program primarily for teenagers, since the mid-1970s, JA has been a well-renowned and respected partner with schools in delivering in-classroom learning experiences for grades K through 12. During the 2023-24 school year, more than 3.8 million students participated in these JA learning experiences, which align with state and national educational standards
JA offers a variety of in-classroom programs for K-12 students, focusing on financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship. Highlights include:
Elementary School Programs: These programs introduce basic concepts such as money management, the importance of education, and the roles of individuals in the community. For example, students learn about “wants” and “needs” and how businesses operate in their local economy.
Middle School Programs: At this level, JA programs dive deeper into financial literacy and career exploration Students engage in activities that help them understand budgeting, saving, and the importance of career planning. They also explore different career paths and the skills required for various jobs.
In many instances, JA brings community volunteers into the classroom to deliver these programs, ensuring that students receive real-world insights and mentorship
Learn more about all of JA’s learning experiences here.
High School Programs: These programs are designed to prepare students for the workforce and higher education. They cover topics such as personal finance, entrepreneurship, and job readiness. High school students might participate in simulations where they run their own businesses or manage personal budgets, providing them with practical, hands-on experience.
THEWAYS JAENGAGES
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING CENTERS
Since the early 2000s, Junior Achievement has operated Experiential Learning Centers (ELCs) in communities across the United States. These centers have been shown to positively impact students’ knowledge and attitudes when it comes to money management, work and career readiness, and starting a business In the 2023-24 school year, more than one million students participated in ELCs in 62 of the 99 markets (states and communities) JA serves.
JA offers two main Experiential Learning Centers designed to provide students with practical, hands-on learning opportunities. These centers are offered in different models, including fixed (a permanent facility) and flexible (portable), and may have some variations to meet the specific needs of local communities However, the foundational models of these centers are:
JA BizTown: This program combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to a simulated town. Students take on various roles within the town, such as business owners, employees, and consumers, to understand how an economy functions They learn about financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship by running businesses and managing personal finances 1.
JA Finance Park: This program focuses on personal financial planning and career exploration. It includes a curriculum followed by a visit to a realistic on-site or virtual facility where students create and manage a personal budget. They learn about income, expenses, savings, and credit, helping them make informed financial decisions 2.
Experiential Learning Centers aim to bridge classroom learning with real-world applications, preparing students for future financial and career success.

INTEGRATED INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL
3DE by Junior Achievement is an innovative instructional model that transforms high school education by making learning more relevant, experiential, and connected to realworld complexities. Integrated in 60 schools across 32 districts, 3DE impacts over 15,000 students annually, equipping them with the skills, mindsets, and behaviors needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving economy
Key Aspects of 3DE:
Real-World Connectivity: Through case methodology, students tackle authentic business challenges applying critical thinking problem solving and collaboration to

NEW INNOVATIONS – WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS
In 2022, Junior Achievement decided to begin expanding its learning experiences beyond high school, and into the 18 to 25 young adult space Part of the reason for doing this was in response to many communities expressing interest in creating a better alignment between K-12 schools, postsecondary education, and employment, or what is referred to as the ‘blur space.’ (Traditionally this refers to grade 10 – 14)
During the past couple of years, JA has been in a discovery phase, which has included work with the U.S. Department of Labor, Purdue Global (backed by Purdue University), other national partners, and many more collaborators at the state and local levels These efforts have been under three main areas of focus:
Coaching | JA is piloting a career navigation coaching program where employers’ associates who are interested in virtually sharing their time, knowledge, a career navigat program, thes work experien organizations enterprise/corp
Badging and been devel credentialing p people to ear that demonstr to succeed ventures, and showcase th abilities, and competencies
Connections | JA is exploring creating more direct connections between students and employers through the creation of local talent marketplaces for young adult candidates who have taken part in coaching and have earned various badges and credentials. The marketplace would facilitate direct connections between job-seeking young adults and employer partners, as well as streamline hiring for employers.
To support our young adults, JA intends to grow and evolve our presence across four distinct channels;
Traditional Postsecondary, including occupational skills training programs. High school (upper grades)
Employer partners
Community partners (ie other not for profits and Workforce Investment
