Our vision is to close the opportunity and wealth gaps for youth in the Greater Boston area.
Being capable isn't about having all the answers. It’s about believing you can figure it out, ask the right questions, and keep trying when it gets hard.
That’s what JA provides students; the skills, the mindset, and the confidence to say, “I've got this.”
