Junior Achievement in California
Empowering California's Future: Junior Achievement Delivers on AB 2927 & Beyond.
Junior Achievement provides experiential learning that empowers California youth (ages 5-25) to build the financial literacy and career-ready skills to thrive in today’s world.
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.
From Elementary to Young Adulthood: A Continuum of Success

Since 2015, JA in California has inspired more than 1.8 million students while partnering with educators and businesses to bridge the gap between education and the real world, creating a sustainable talent pipeline and empowering young Californians to thrive and drive economic growth.
