What
We Do.
JA of Central Ohio is an education partner that implements immersive, standards-aligned experiences for K-12 students, delivered at our Learning Centers in Columbus or Newark, or in the classroom. Each experience is designed with measurable outcomes, helping students build self-efficacy and grow into confident, capable, and connected adults.
“Junior Achievement has been an invaluable partner in helping us access and implement resources that have meaningfully jump-started and shaped our career-connected curriculum in sustainable ways. Their programming is engaging, thoughtfully designed, and highly relevant to students.“
Grandview Heights School District Representative

Experiential Learning Center Sponsor: @mortellaro.mcdonalds 🍔🍟
Our Mortellaro McDonalds JA BizTown shop allows students to learn more about financial literacy and entrepreneurship through hands-on learning experiences. Instead of real food, our simulation sells toys that students can... purchase with 'money' they earned through working at JA BizTown.
