This sounds GREAT, I want to get my child involved:
Contact Junior Achievement
Most Junior Achievement programs take place within school, an after-school center or through student events. The best way to find out if the program is being offered in your district is to contact JA.
If Junior Achievement is currently not running programs in your district, but you are interested in getting your child involved; JA can help facilitate. Usually all it will take is a conversation with your child’s teacher and permission for the principal to add this amazing program!
I am Local School Administrator, Teacher, or Business and I want to Offer Junior Achievement Programming:

Junior Achievement of Northeastern Pennsylvania provides learning experiences that align with national and state standards. JA’s curriculum is proven to increase students’ knowledge of topics related to personal finance, work and career-readiness, and entrepreneurship. Age-appropriate programs are designed for students in grades K through 12. Most JA programs require a volunteer component where a trained business professional comes into the classroom to present sessions.
I love what Junior Achievement is offering students in NEPA how can I help support this program?
