Junior Achievement, with the support of Discover, announced the launch of JA Finance Park Virtual. The program is designed to help middle and high school students better understand how to manage money by assigning them simulated life-scenarios and challenging them to successfully manage their finances.

93 high school students representing more than 55 high schools from the Greater Washington region and beyond participated in the 2020 JA Entrepreneurship Summit Pitch Competition and Awards Ceremony.

Nearly 140 young entrepreneurs from around the region competed this weekend at the JA Company of the Year Competition, the culminating event for the JA student companies who have spent the last eight months designing, launching and operating a startup company with their peers.

Junior Achievement of Greater Washington inducted the 2020 Laureate class into the Washington Business Hall of Fame at the organization’s annual celebration on December 2, 2020. Over $1.3 million was raised to support JA’s work to prepare young people to be future-ready.
