In 1959, Junior Achievement of South Florida was created by members of the Fort Lauderdale Rotary Club. In its first year, the organization served 373 high school students. Over the next 49 years, JA increased its reach to include more than 13,000 students a year. Then in 2009, JA World Huizenga Center at the Lillian S. Wells Pavilion, located on the north campus of Broward College, opened its doors and the organization’s impact grew significantly to 50,000 students a year.
At 60,000 square feet, JA World is the single largest JA educational facility of 36 in the world. The project was spearheaded by the late Marti and Wayne Huizenga, who made a lead gift to the capital campaign and helped inspire other community leaders to support the project. The land was generously donated by Broward College, and through a partnership with Broward County Public Schools, it was agreed that every 5th and 8th grade student would participate in the JA BizTown and JA Finance Park programs, including classroom instruction and a simulation at JA World.
Today JA programs span grades K-12 across Broward and south Palm Beach counties, with age appropriate curriculum that heightens the academic experience. Over the past 60 years, Junior Achievement of South Florida has served over 1,000,000 students.
