Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada

Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada is a youth organization on East Tropicana that teaches financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness through a structured curriculum rather than open drop-in activities. The programs on file run in a clear sequence, from JA Ourselves, JA Our Community, JA Our City, JA Our Region, and JA Our Nation for younger students up through JA Personal Finance, JA Economics for Success, JA Career Success, JA It's My Business, the JA Company Program, JA Entrepreneurship, JA Titan, and JA Inspire for older ones. That progression is the point: a fifth grader and a high school junior are meant to get age-matched material rather than the same lesson.

The teaching model on record leans on volunteer mentors, real-world simulations, and hands-on activities, so the work is applied rather than lecture-only. The listing records pricing as free, which makes it an accessible option for families and for schools looking to bring the curriculum to a classroom.

The recorded age range is 5 to 18, and the program map matches that span, with the earliest units aimed at elementary students and the business and finance units aimed at teens. The organization carries a 4.6 rating across 13 Google reviews.

For parents, the practical read is straightforward: this is a sequenced financial and career-skills program, free to participate, that a child can move through over several years rather than a one-time class. The location on file is 4440 E Tropicana Ave in Las Vegas. For enrollment, classroom partnerships, or which unit fits a given grade, the number on file is (702) 214-0500.
