A VISIONARY PARTNER POWERING THE REIMAGINATION OF FUTURE BOUND Pacific Life’s partnership with Junior Achievement USA has redefined what’s possible for national student programming, driving a bold reimagination of JA’s most in-demand competitions. Through the Pacific Life Foundation’s investment, this collaboration has transformed JA’s signature national student event into a fully immersive, four-track experience that empowers students with the confidence, skills, and exposure to thrive in their future careers. Pacific Life’s support began in 2022, when JA’s national student event was known as the National Student Leadership Summit (NSLS). By 2025, Future Bound by Junior Achievement was introduced in the reimagined format and hosted at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia. This evolution, from NSLS to Future Bound, represents a major milestone in JA’s history and was made possible through Pacific Life’s visionary leadership and continued investment. Pacific Life Foundation’s contributions have fueled the reimagination of three cornerstone events: JA Titan National Challenge – Students run a simulated cellphone company, applying business strategies and leadership decisions in a competitive environment that strengthens their financial empowerment and decision-making skills. JA Social Innovation Challenge – Students present solutions to pressing community challenges, combining creativity with financial and social impact. JA Stock Market Challenge – Students experience real-time investing decisions, competing to build successful portfolios in a fast-paced simulation. What began as virtual competitions -JA Stock Market Challenge and JA Titan Challenge have now come to life in person, joining the JA Company of the Year to form Future Bound’s dynamic four-track competition model. Student participation grew from 105 in 2024 to over 280 students in 2025’s national event, reflecting the transformative impact of Pacific Life’s partnership and the reach of JA’s reimagined event design. Beyond financial support, Pacific Life’s employee volunteers play a hands-on role in shaping the student experience. Volunteers serve as judges, workshop facilitators, and mentors, helping students connect classroom knowledge with real-world business scenarios. Their involvement ensures that students not only compete, but also learn, network, and envision themselves as future leaders and innovators. Pacific Life’s long-term commitment to Junior Achievement USA reflects their dedication to creating equitable access to financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurship education. Their partnership has served as a catalyst for national transformation, expanding JA’s reach, deepening student impact, and bringing Future Bound to life in a way that inspires the next generation of changemakers. “Aligning with Pacific Life’s purpose of building confidence for generations, Pacific Life employee volunteers and the Pacific Life Foundation are partnering with nonprofits like Junior Achievement across the globe to educate the next generation on how to invest in their future and achieve financial success.”

ADVANCING WHAT’S POSSIBLE: KPMG’S DECADE OF VISION AND IMPACT For more than a decade, KPMG LLP (KPMG) and the KPMG U.S. Foundation have stood alongside JA USA as a champion for young people—driven by a shared belief that every student deserves the mindset, skills, and behaviors to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. Through this steadfast relationship, KPMG is redefining workforce development, helping students move from classrooms to careers with purpose and momentum. As the first investor in JA’s post-secondary and workforce pathways initiative, KPMG is sparking a movement that connects education to employment in bold new ways. Through the groundbreaking pilot initiative, KPMG is reshaping the 3DE senior year experience. Students tackle real business challenges, earn career-ready credentials, and connect directly with employers through a dedicated talent marketplace. This pilot—launching in Tampa Bay, Central Florida, and Northern Indiana—is powered by local business support and a focus on equipping students with work-readiness skills. Beyond this pilot, KPMG significantly impacts a variety of Junior Achievement initiatives. 3DE sophomores engage in a dynamic KPMG case challenge that builds critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. In the past five years, more than 6,000 students across seven states have engaged with KPMG, gaining valuable exposure and receiving personalized coaching from KPMG business professionals. And KPMG's leadership doesn’t stop there. Over the past decade KPMG has helped reimagine financial literacy and career exploration for millions of middle and high school students through JA Finance Park. KPMG’s support also enabled the development of JA Finance Park Advanced, an immersive simulation that empowers high school students to make informed decisions about education, savings, and credit—laying the foundation for long-term financial well-being. KPMG and JA USA share a commitment to investing in the future of young people. This collaboration exemplifies how business and education can work together to inspire the next generation and prepare them to navigate the complexities of modern life and work. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to KPMG and the KPMG U.S. Foundation for their visionary leadership and generous support. Their dedication to advancing financial literacy and workforce readiness through innovative programs has made a lasting difference in the lives of millions of students. JA USA is proud to partner with KPMG in this important work, and together, we look forward to continuing to inspire and prepare young people for successful futures. “KPMG’s investment in 3DE and JA Finance Park is accelerating opportunity for students in Tampa Bay and beyond, equipping them with the skills and confidence to become future-ready. These initiatives empower young people to tackle real-world challenges, earn credentials, and unlock greater economic mobility. The partnership between KPMG and JA USA is a powerful example of how business and education can work together to inspire and prepare the next generation of leaders.” — Richard George, President, Junior Achievement of Tampa Bay

EMPOWERING EQUITY: Z ZURICH FOUNDATION’S VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF FINANCIAL EDUCATION Z Zurich Foundation and JA USA share a deep commitment to advancing social equity through financial literacy education. Together, we are delivering proven, sustainable solutions that empower students and strengthen communities nationwide. JA USA is profoundly grateful for Z Zurich Foundation’s support and visionary leadership, which continue to make a lasting difference in the lives of young people and the future of financial education in the U.S. The collaboration between Z Zurich Foundation and JA USA, with the support of Zurich North America (Zurich), began in 2023 with a visionary grant supporting the restructuring of JA’s grade K-5 educational suite of programs. The impact of the K-5 curriculum redesign focuses on prevention and intervention at the earliest stages and provides programming to address systemic challenges caused by a lack of financial literacy. In addition, Z Zurich Foundation’s support also accelerates social equity by investing in resources and curricula to be fit-forpurpose for tomorrow’s world of work. It is estimated that this exciting project will impact an estimated 5 million children across multiple years. Additionally, in 2024, Z Zurich Foundation expanded its commitment by investing further in the redesign of curricula for grades 6–12. Its long-term vision centers on creating lasting improvements in educational systems, scaling impact to ensure equitable, high-quality education. By extending the K–5 program to middle and high school students, Z Zurich Foundation is positioned to foster sustainable change and improve the life chances of young people across America. This initiative offers Zurich and Z Zurich Foundation, alongside JA USA, a unique opportunity to deepen their legacy, transforming the educational landscape and reaching millions of students. The 6–12 curriculum redesign specifically addresses persistent inequities in the U.S. education system, aiming to help marginalized youth reach their full potential. By developing content aligned with national and state standards, the program bridges the gap between theory and real-world application, supporting long-term improvements in education. Beyond direct program impact, JA aims to showcase this initiative as a best practice, developing content that can be shared throughout the JA network and benefit students in other countries. Our strong collaboration with Z Zurich Foundation fuels the creation of innovative educational resources—including blended print and digital materials, digital games, simulations, and experiential activities—designed to deliver engaging, inclusive, and meaningful learning experiences for students of all ages. The curriculum is fully inclusive and offers flexible delivery options, and features credentialing and badging to track long-term outcomes. Covering financial literacy, career readiness, entrepreneurship, and character development, these programs help students build essential skills year after year, ensuring they graduate fully prepared for the workforce. Included in the major impact JA USA is experiencing with this collaboration is the volunteer engagement grant that supports ten key JA markets with opportunities for Zurich employees to participate in classroom facilitation. Zurich volunteers act as coaches, mentors, and role models, sharing their experiences and fostering self-belief in students. JA has always held the belief that corporate volunteers are the secret sauce that makes JA programming so impactful for our students. Zurich employee volunteers are no exception to this rule.

For a Changing World… Experiential Learning Where Students Achieve Academically Today and Economically Tomorrow
The “Future of Work” is Here For more than a decade, there have been discussions about the need to prepare young people for the “Future of Work,” taking into consideration the impact of automation, AI, and societal changes on the employment prospects of the next generation. With the explosive growth of Generative AI in recent years, it’s apparent that the Future of Work is here. In fact, in its 2025 Future of Jobs Report, The World Economic Forum predicts 39 percent of current skillsets will be outdated in five years due to advances in AI.
The Impact on Economic Mobility and Generational Outcomes Such advances in technology can have an adverse impact on the economic mobility of those unprepared for these changes. In recent decades, the economic mobility of Americans – the ability to do as well or better than previous generations – has declined 45 percent, according to the Brookings Institution, due, in part, to previous technological innovations, like automation and information systems.
15.
The decline in mobility can be linked to the growing impact of technology and globalization on earning potential. There was a time up until the early 1980s when a high school education was enough to sustain a quality standard of living in the U.S. Today, though, even a college education might not be enough as more than a third of college graduates are “underemployed,” meaning they work in jobs that don’t require a college degree, and that may also pay less than a living wage.
Education for What’s Next Research by Georgetown University indicates that by 2031, 70 percent of jobs will require education or training beyond high school. Currently, though, only one-in-three high school graduates go on to complete a college degree, with many of those being in fields that are not in high earning, high growth professions. According to the Camber Collective, the top four life experiences expected to positively affect lifetime earnings are 1) completing secondary education, 2) graduating with a degree in a high-paying field of study, 3) receiving mentorship during adolescence, and 4) obtaining a first full-time job with opportunity for advancement. Job skills training and business ownership can also be beneficial. These experiences can contribute to gaining the transferable skills and competencies, such as creative and critical thinking, problemsolving, collaboration, and continuous learning, needed to succeed in our rapidly changing economy. At Junior Achievement, our learning experiences are demonstrated to promote the skills and competencies needed to promote economic mobility. We believe every student deserves a future filled with choices and opportunities. That’s why we focus on what drives real economic mobility by helping students become confident, capable, competent, and connected. By partnering with schools and communities, we unlock potential and accelerate mobility at scale while expanding access to opportunity-filled futures. In this way, Junior Achievement promotes education for what’s next.
PROJECT & ANNUAL FUNDING Junior Achievement could not prepare young people to succeed in a global economy or empower young people to own their own economic success without our investors. Every single dollar makes a difference, and all donations to JA USA help to continually evolve JA’s enriching programs at a national and local level. The corporations, foundations, and individuals listed here have provided Junior Achievement with funding in 2024-2025.
