We’re One of the World’s Most-Impactful

Youth-Serving NGOs

For more than 100 years, JA has delivered hands-on, experiential learning in
work readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship. We create pathways
for employability, job creation and financial success. JA Worldwide was select-
ed as one of the 2020 Top 500 NGOs in the world by NGO Advisor, holding at #7.
This represents JA Worldwide’s second time on this prestigious list of global
NGOs, which uses a rigorous methodology that prioritizes impact, innovation,
and governance.

“JA Worldwide is deeply honored to be listed again by NGO Advisor as one of
the most impactful NGOs in the world. The JA Worldwide network, with offices
in over 115 countries, is part of a community of youth-serving organizations that,
collectively, are changing society. By preparing more than 12 million young
people each year for employment and entrepreneurship, we’re helping every
child have access to the mindset and skill sets required by the jobs of the
future. We recognize that much work remains in ensuring that no young
person is left behind, and we look forward to meeting this challenge in our
second century.”
