Celebrating JA Member Milestones
February 1, 2023
Through a number of new government partnerships, awards, and anniversaries announced over the last few months, we have a lot to celebrate in the JA network. Around the world, ministries of education endorsed JA programs, organizations recognized JA initiatives that are making significant impacts on young people’s lives, and JA member locations celebrated landmark anniversaries. We’re excited to celebrate these milestones as JA members continue to prepare youth for the jobs of the future, become economically empowered, and cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset in young people around the world.
