Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South

Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South is a 501(C)3, non profit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of children and youth. The mission of Junior Achievement is Empowering young people to own their economic success.

Since 1955 Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South has been fulfilling this mission by way of Entrepreneurship, Work Readiness and Financial Literacy Education to students K-12 across Mid-South communities. Our volunteer mentors are the key to our JA programs, and they leave a lasting impression on the students they teach. In fact, one in five people who experienced JA as a student has gone on to work in the industry of their JA volunteer.
