Junior Achievement is a business/Education partnership where volunteers teach students K-12 about the free enterprise system using a pre-designed curriculum. Our mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. At Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada, we provide hands-on experiential programs that teach children in the Clark County School District the key concepts of financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship.

Through our proven curriculum that is designed on a national level to align with Common Core and state standards our hundreds of business volunteers each year share the life skills that make a difference in our children’s future. Junior Achievement’s programs focus on three pillars: financial literacy (how to be smart with your money and credit), how to be ready to join the workforce and how to think like an entrepreneur/business person.

At a deeper level, Junior Achievement programs tie what kids are learning in the classroom back to their future and inspire them to dream about who they will become.

JA's Biz Town
, created by Junior Achievement, is an engaging program that immerses elementary and middle school students in a simulated mini-economy. Students take on roles as employees and consumers, making financial literacy, teamwork, and civic responsibility fun. Through hands-on activities, they gain practical insights into business operations and essential skills for future involvement, blending learning with play!

A Biz Town volunteer mentors and guides students through a simulated economy experience, helping them perform job roles, manage finances, and learn real-world skills like teamwork and problem-solving. They facilitate the day’s activities, offer feedback, and ensure students stay on task while creating a fun and engaging learning environment. Volunteers play a key role in helping students understand business concepts and develop important life skills.
