Economic Education for students in grades kindergarten through twelfth. Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada, Inc. was founded locally in 1996. Our current local programs span grades K-12, with age-appropriate curricula. At the elementary level, students learn about their roles as individuals, workers, and consumers while focusing on key life skills like the importance of saving, and the difference between wants and needs. Middle and high school students learn about key economic principals, workforce issues they will face, personal budgeting and credit.
