About Us —
The role of education in helping America's workforce remain competitive in a global economy is paramount -- even more so in a rapidly changing world where the traditional advantages and obstacles U.S. workers have enjoyed are dwindling.
The time is now for American business to step up its support to our existing educational institutions by providing both money and volunteers to expand the traditional academic curriculum in order to teach students first-hand about the real world opportunities that exist. Like athletes, we as business people can also serve as role models in providing our young people with the encouragement and tools they need to study hard, retain what they've learned, so they can ultimately reach their potential.
Junior Achievement of New York is an important vehicle in helping the business community support and become engaged in our local school systems in New York and Long Island both financially and through increased volunteers, and providing a presence/role models for just this sort of endeavor."
Mr. Phillip Lynch, Venture Partner, Fidelity Ventures
Junior Achievement New York is privileged to have an outstanding Board of Directors. It is comprised of leading business executives, prominent educators and community leaders from the greater New York area — generous, caring people committed to supporting and promoting JA's mission.
Many thanks to all the individual business leaders who selflessly donate their time, energy and resources to serving on our Board:
