From the Mouths of JA CEOs: JA Biz Camp 2022.

In July 2022 Junior Achievement (JA) of Alaska launched its first Biz Camp with the goal to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit among young people in Alaska.

Campers were divided by grade level and spent the week developing their business plans while learning about leadership and teamwork through physical fitness with the support of their camp counselors.

Thanks to support from the Alaska Community Foundation and Cook Inlet Region, Inc., students walked away with a business plan ready to put into action. and four students went home with seed money for their idea.

As JA board member Ryan Cropper often says, "Big businesses start as small businesses."

If you think your student would benefit from Biz Camp--and you're right--registration for that and three other new programs is now open at Alaska.ja.org.
