Background Statement
Junior Achievement-Rocky Mountain (JA) is education for what’s next. As a strategic partner working in collaboration with educators, employers, investors, leaders, and the communities they serve, we are dedicated to helping students achieve academically today and economically tomorrow. By delivering career-connected learning through experiential programs, we are invested in accelerating economic mobility through education. By helping students become confident, capable, and connected today, we can ensure they have access to opportunity-filled futures tomorrow.
In 2025/26, JA-Rocky Mountain will reach more than 100,000 students in Colorado and Wyoming at no cost to schools and students, thanks to generous financial support from individuals, foundations, and businesses.
In November 2025, JA-Rocky Mountain merged with JA of Southern Colorado to form a statewide organization, a bold step forward that will elevate program quality and reach, while achieving economies of scale. This consolidation strengthens our ability to support Colorado school districts in meeting statewide goals around ICAP, career-connected learning, and financial literacy.
