In spite of cancellations, postponements, and closings, we at JA continued our operations and moved further into digital and hybrid teaching. As education responds, JA pledges to further develop and expand digital-learning experiences and virtual volunteer sessions so that every child has access to real-world education.

Objectives
Flagship
JA is building skill sets and changing mindsets, enabling girls to recognize early on that they can do anything boys can do.
Entire teams of girls compete each year at regional Company of the Year competitions and, time and again, they excel in their vision, organization, creativity, and commitment. They’re fierce, competing to win . . . and they usually do. In fact, at a recent JA Asia Pacific Company of the Year Competition, girls swept first, second, and third places!
Through JA, young women are charting their own futures, in business, in government, in education, in medicine, in technology, in science . . . in whatever they choose.
