Junior Achievement of Georgia is actively recruiting 9th-12th grade students for our JA Fellow program

JA Fellows is the pinnacle business and leadership experience for 9th-12th grade students.

As a JA Fellow, students develop the skills and knowledge that will set them apart when competing for scholarships, college acceptance and eventually a spot in the global marketplace.

Through this in-depth, leadership and entrepreneurship program, students gain real-world business experience by working in teams of 15-20 to conceptualize, capitalize and manage their own small business. Hosted and advised by top companies across metro Atlanta, students gain insight around larger concepts, such as market research, business leadership, financial management and valuable communication skills.
