Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest (JA) served nearly 8,000 greater Mankato students in grades K-12 during the 2014-15 school year. We partnered with more than 250 local volunteers who donated nearly 60,000 hours of their time and energy to offer local students the knowledge and skills to be successful in today’s world. Our Mankato Board of Directors has 18 active members, one full-time staff member and one part-time staff member. Thanks to our generous sponsors.
