Welcome to the JA Business Ethics Message Board!

The goal of the JA Business Ethics program is to assist you in developing your ethical decision-making skills. In addition to exploring personal, business, and global ethics topics with your volunteer in class, you also have the opportunity to discuss related topics on this board with other JA Business Ethics students around the world.

Each program session has a forum folder below, including each core session (One through Seven) and each supplementary session (A through E). Volunteers may or may not decide to implement the supplementary sessions in your class. Inside each folder, you will see discussion topics related to the session. Share your thoughts and read responses from students participating in this program worldwide.

JA Worldwide (Junior Achievement) gratefully acknowledges Deloitte & Touche USA LLP and the John Templeton Foundation for their dedication to the development and implementation of the high school program JA Business Ethics. JA Worldwide appreciates its partnerships with Deloitte & Touche USA LLP and the John Templeton Foundation to develop and implement vital and innovative programs designed to help students foster ethical decision-making skills.
