In 2007, FPA partnered with JA Worldwide® (Junior Achievement) to help support the Junior Achievement core purpose to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. FPA volunteers, working in partnership with Junior Achievement, teach Junior Achievement programs in schools nationwide. The FPA and Junior Achievement partnership provide the bridge between financial literacy and education by teaching kids the financial planning process, their role in the economy and the importance of education to their success in life. By joining forces with Junior Achievement, FPA hopes to advance educational programs that help improve financial literacy for America's youth.
