Above all, the culture of Junior Achievement is mission-driven. From the Board of Directors to staff members, the JA community is filled with dedicated people commited to delivering our programs of hope and opportunity to every student in Mississippi.

Most staff positions either deal primarily with program delivery (recruiting volunteers and educators, providing training, providing follow-up assistance, etc.) or with fundraising and marketing functions (managing special events such as Bowl-a-Thons or Golf Tournaments, managing funding campaigns, public awareness, etc.)  In Mississippi, some staff members work primarily in the MetroJackson area while others represent Junior Achievement of Mississippi in various communities around the state.

Junior Achievement employees work with caring, interesting people in the community--educators, business people, parents, community leaders of all types--who are concerned about our young people and want to help give them every opportunity to enjoy a successful life.  Employees are encouraged to personally teach a Junior Achievement program in the classroom--providing them first-hand knowledge of exactly how our progams impact young people.  In teaching a Junior Achievement program in the classroom, employees also experience the satisfaction our volunteers and educators enjoy.
