Junior Achievement in California

Empowering California's Future: Junior Achievement Delivers on AB 2927 & Beyond.

We equip youth (ages 5-25) with the critical skills mandated by AB 2927 and beyond, fostering a generation of financially literate and career-ready Californians.

Meeting the Mandate: Junior Achievement's Commitment to AB 2927

California's Assembly Bill 2927 recognizes the urgent need for financial literacy education. Junior Achievement is a proven partner in fulfilling this mandate. Our programs directly address the core competencies outlined in AB 2927, ensuring students gain essential knowledge in budgeting, saving, credit, and investing. We provide educators with ready-to-implement resources and curriculum, making financial literacy accessible and impactful in every classroom.
