Junior Achievement of Canada
(Jeunes Entreprises du Canada)
Junior Achievement of Canada (JA Canada), operating as Jeunes Entreprises du Canada in French, is a national nonprofit organization focused on youth education in business, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship. Established in 1967[^2], it forms part of Junior Achievement Worldwide, a network active in over 120 countries since its founding in 1919[^1][^5].
History
The global Junior Achievement organization was founded in the United States in 1919 by Theodore Vail, Horace Moses, and Senator Murray Crane[^1]. Its Canadian counterpart, JA Canada, began operating in 1967[^2], while regional charters emerged earlier, such as JA Quebec in 1962[^5] and JA Northern Alberta in 1964[^1]. By 2024, JA Canada’s 14 regional chapters delivered programs coast-to-coast, reaching over 445,000 Canadian students annually[^1][^3].
Programs and Mission
JA Canada designs in-school and extracurricular programs for youth aged 10–18, emphasizing hands-on learning in work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy[^3][^5]. Core initiatives include simulated business ventures, career-planning workshops, and budgeting exercises, facilitated by volunteers from the business community[^1][^3]. The organization’s mission centers on preparing youth to "succeed in a global economy" through experiential education[^4][^5].
Structure
As a member of JA Worldwide, JA Canada operates through regional offices, including JA Quebec (JA Québec), JA Northern Alberta, and others[^1][^5]. Volunteers—numbering over 400,000 globally—deliver classroom sessions, mentorship, and competition judging[^1][^5].
