Founded in 2003, Junior Achievement Central Ontario (JACO) is a member of Junior Achievement Canada. JACO is the result of the amalgamation of Junior Achievement of Toronto & York Region (founded 1968) and Junior Achievement of Peel (founded in 1981). JACO has impacted over 1.4 million students in Toronto, York Region, Peel, and Simcoe since it was formed. Junior Achievement Central Ontario partners with businesses, educators, and policy makers across Central Ontario with the goal of preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. JACO runs programs for students from grades 4 to 12 in 596 schools across 11 school districts.
