JA is one of the largest youth-serving organizations globally, with a presence in over 100 countries. Last year, we impacted more than 19 million students, equipping them with the skills, entrepreneurial mindset, and ethical values needed to become future leaders, innovators, and contributors to economic growth and social stability.

For over a century, JA has reached students in both urban and rural communities, including areas affected by political instability, violence, and war. Even in refugee camps, we help students build resilience, hope, and the skills necessary to become job creators and agents of peace in their communities.

In a world that feels increasingly divided, JA’s focus on problem-solving, conflict resolution, and communication fosters cross-cultural understanding and self-efficacy. We believe that economic empowerment is essential for lasting peace, and we continue to empower young people to shape a more prosperous and peaceful world.
