For 55 years JA Nova Scotia has educated and empowered students to make thoughtful financial health, workplace readiness and entrepreneurial decisions. Our programs are offered, at no cost and provides in-school and extra-curricular hands-on experiential programming for youth aged 5-25, setting them up with real-world scenarios and experiences to encourage them to create their successful future.

Our programs build on and enhance the current curriculum students receive at school, with additional focus and clarity on comprehensive planning for a successful future. We prompt youth to be proactive, get comfortable with things that are unfamiliar and develop autonomy, self-belief and confidence. Learning in the classroom and through extra-curricular activities.
