Junior Achievement of Alabama - 581 22nd Street North Birmingham , AL 35203

Join us on Thursday,  June 11 as we celebrate the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of the Junior Achievement McWane Economic Education Center, a milestone investment in the future of our community’s youth. This innovative center is designed to equip students with critical real‑world skills in financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurship through hands‑on, immersive learning experiences.

The JA McWane Economic Education Center will serve as a dynamic hub where students can explore workplace concepts, make informed financial decisions, and gain confidence navigating today’s economy. To prepare them for their hands on learning experience, students will engage in more than 12 hours of classwork to understand key concepts like saving, budgeting, expense control and investments. We invite community leaders, partners, educators, and supporters to help us mark this exciting moment and celebrate a shared commitment to empowering the next generation for lifelong success.
