The Junior Statesmen Foundation provides leadership and guidance to the Junior State of America, a student-run leadership program that offers extracurricular activities such as fall,  winter and spring conventions throughout the country in “states” and regions where students hold debates, thought talks, workshops, and engage with top political, educational, and government speakers. There are almost 500 active JSA chapters that write their own constitutions, elect their leadership, and organize their members to attend regional conventions.

Your support of JSA enables us to provide training and support to teacher/advisors, subsidies for weekend conventions, provide materials to aid chapters and “states” in creating and strengthening chapters, and increase capacity of the organization to reach out to the develop responsible citizens, voters, and future leaders.

Your support at any level is appreciated and gratefully acknowledged. To make your gift to JSA online, please this online donation page.
