Employment with JA Worldwide
If you’re motivated by JA’s global mission, scale, and impact, we invite you to apply for a position with our organization.
As one of the world’s largest and most-impactful youth-serving NGOs, JA Worldwide delivers hands on, immersive learning in entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial capability. Reaching more than 23 million young people each year through over 790,000 teachers and business volunteers, JA Worldwide is one of few organizations with the scale, experience, and passion to build a boundless future for the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders.
JA Worldwide is a network of teams: Each JA entity has its own board of directors and staff and each operation, whether large or small, works with young people, has an online presence, raises funds, manages finances, delivers programs, organizes events, collects/shares data, and handles diverse legal and compliance issues. When it comes to technology, the JA network operates with a fixed-flexible-freestyle approach where some solutions are global (fixed) while others are regional (flexible) or entirely local (freestyle).
JA Worldwide has been selected as one of the top ten NGOs in the world in annual rankings since 2019 and is a five-time nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize.
JA Is for Everyone, Everywhere
At JA Worldwide, not only are we committed to diversity of race, ethnicity, age, gender and gender identity, and sexual orientation in our staff, boards, and volunteers, we also highly value diversity of ideas, skillsets, industries, and geography to ensure our students are exposed to the greatest possible range of experiences and perspectives.
To best serve our students and offer them the experiences and role models they need to build self-efficacy, we seek to ensure that the JA network—including staff, teachers, business volunteers, and board members—is as inclusive as our students and alumni. With direct access to adults who share a similar background and set of experiences, JA students gain the confidence to amplify their voices, build sustainable movements, and work toward a better world.
