Through JA’s newly updated Economics for Success program, students in grades 9&10 plan an education and career path. They gain a stronger sense of who they are and how to use their strengths to succeed in the future.

Economics for Success leaders make learning fun by using games and multimedia to boost students’ self-confidence and help them apply the lessons to their lives immediately.
