JA economics programs are funded by businesses, corporations, individuals, and foundations. The economics programs are designed to be taught in the classroom by businessmen and women, parents, retirees, community leaders, college/university students, etc. Classroom volunteers make economic concepts relevant, fuel the entrepreneurial spirit, and challenge the students to excel. JA's unique delivery system provides the training, materials, and support necessary to ensure a positive experience. Our materials correspondence with the State of Tennessee Department of Education's curriculum for elementary, middle, and high school students.
