JA Europe

About us

We are Europe’s leader in entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial health programmes for youth.

As one of the world’s largest and most-impactful youth-serving nonprofits, JA delivers hands on, immersive learning in entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial health. Delivering more than 15 million student experiences each year in over 100 countries, JA Worldwide is one of few organisations with the scale, experience, and passion to build a brighter future for the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders.

The impact of our real-world training extends beyond individual students. For over 100 years, JA has operated all over the world—including in refugee camps, countries wracked by war and violence, and areas of extreme poverty. By helping youth develop the employment and entrepreneurial tools to find meaningful work and start sustainable companies, JA serves as a conduit for peace and prosperity. Through JA, young people are equipped with the skillset and mindset to build thriving communities.
