JA Central Ontario’s mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a changing global economy.
Through digitally-enabled, in-school and after-school learning, JA students gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to realize the opportunities, and realities, of work, school, and life.
JA experiences and events empower young people to think about and plan their futures, supported by our network of educators, corporate partners and volunteers. JA students consider how the career paths they take, the financial decisions they make – and perhaps the companies they create – will be not only successful, but also have positive social and environmental impact.
Students benefit on this journey from the mentorship and inspiration of our JA network – professionals who share real-world experience of navigating, shaping, and re-shaping their own stories.
JA Central Ontario, a member of JA Canada and part of JA Worldwide, has been working in Halton, Peel, Toronto, York, Durham, and Simcoe regions since 1968 to bridge the gap between education and the world of work.
