Young, Bold and Business-Savvy: Junior Achievement Empowers SA Youth

On this week’s Impact on POV, we shine the spotlight on Junior Achievement South Africa, a powerhouse in youth development. Backed by the Department of Basic Education, JA is equipping the next generation with real-world skills - entrepreneurship, financial literacy and work readiness - inside and outside the classroom. Their hands-on approach helps young South Africans build resilience, confidence, and creativity early on. Because it’s never too soon to start building your future.
