At Junior Achievement of Southern Massachusetts, we are proud to offer JA innovation programs that bring real-world skills and creativity into classrooms across Southern MA and the SouthCoast. By connecting educators with impactful programs that spark entrepreneurship, problem-solving, and financial literacy, we help students develop the tools they need to thrive.
Inspire Students to Dream Boldly and Think Creatively
Through our JA innovation programs, students experience hands-on learning that encourages bold thinking. From launching mock businesses to brainstorming inventive solutions to real challenges, these activities promote both leadership and collaboration.
Teachers in communities like New Bedford, Fall River, Dartmouth, and Mattapoisett are already seeing the benefits of bringing innovation into their classrooms with JA.
Become a JA Coach: Lead and Inspire Future Entrepreneurs
Our Becoming a JA Coach program offers volunteers a chance to guide students through entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy modules. JA Coaches don’t just teach — they inspire. By sharing your time and experience, you become a real-world mentor helping youth build confidence and skills for success.
JA Workforce Coaching: Real-World Skills That Stick
