ABOUT
US
Junior Achievement of South Texas is headquartered in San Antonio
JA of South Texas was established in 1979 serving the greater San Antonio area. Through the years, our area expanded to serve the communities in Laredo (Junior Achievement of Laredo) and Corpus Christi (Junior Achievement of the Coastal Bend). We currently have 13 full-time staff members.
Our Vision
When we look into the future, what is our vision for the world's youth? We envision a world in which young people have the skillset and mindset to build thriving communities.
Our work contributes to this vision, of course. But the vision is bigger than JA. We may never reach all 2 billion global youth, but by advocating for experiential learning in every school in the world, and by nurturing partnerships with schools and other like-minded organizations, we envision a world in which no young person is left behind.
A WORLD IN WHICH...
YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE THE SKILLSET AND MINDSET TO BUILD THRIVING COMMUNITIES.
Our Mission
Our mission is the part JA plays in our wider vision for the future, the day-to-day work we do for the millions of young people we serve.
JA INSPIRES AND PREPARES YOUNG PEOPLE TO SUCCEED IN A GLOBAL ECONOMY.
OUR VALUES
How we approach our work is as important as our mission. Six values reflect the culture of the JA network and raise the bar for our interactions within and outside of the JA network.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Junior Achievement is dedicated to providing a positive, enriching learning experience free of bias that promotes greater economic opportunity and equity. Junior Achievement welcomes K-12 students, volunteers, educators, staff, and other partners and stakeholders, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, national origin, disability, sexual orientation or any other legally protected characteristic.
