Junior Achievement

One of our largest financial education initiatives is our partnership with Junior Achievement (JA) of Georgia to educate middle school students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial well-being through an experiential learning environment.

Empowering Young Minds with Financial Skills

At Georgia United Foundation, we believe that teaching financial skills early on sets the foundation for lifelong financial well-being. Since 2015, we have proudly partnered with JA of Georgia to provide students with essential financial skills. By sponsoring the JA Discovery Centers in Atlanta, Gwinnett, Cumming, Dalton, Savannah and Augusta, students can explore financial topics like budgeting and distinguishing between wants and needs. Georgia United team members volunteer to lead middle schoolers through an interactive simulation of real-life scenarios. By allowing students to make their own choices, they gain insight into the responsibilities and decisions they'll face as they approach adulthood.
