Meet the JA Youth Advisors

March 1, 2022

Every three years, JA Worldwide develops a strategic plan that guides our growth and priorities. For the first time, we’ve invited young people—both alumni and non-alumni—to be a part of the process as JA Youth Advisors.

These 110 young people, ranging in age from 16–29, will play a key role in shaping JA Worldwide’s next strategic plan. In partnership with MIT Media Lab, Cortico, and Accenture, JA Youth Advisors will take part in group conversations focusing on entrepreneurship education from both the JA alumni and non-alumni perspectives.

Youth Advisors have signed up from 46 locations: Albania, Argentina, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ghana, Guam, Hong Kong SAR–China, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malta , Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Portugal, Qatar, Scotland, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, South African, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, Uganda, United Kingdom, United States, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
