Learning Experiences Hub
We’re excited to introduce the JA Learning Experience Hub, a new, dynamic space where JA members can discover, share, and explore powerful learning experiences from across the global network.
You’ll access the hub using your JA I.D. If you haven’t created your JA I.D. yet, follow this guide to set up your credentials.)
The first step in making the hub useful is for the entire JA network is to share details of your unique JA learning experiences. By contributing to the hub, you’re helping build a collaborative, growing resource that inspires others and strengthens the impact of JA. Head on over to the hub and start sharing! If you have any questions, reach out to Alison Gottsch-Walton.
Make the Move to JA ID
JA ID is an online identity management system that allows users—students, volunteers, alumni, board members, staff, and more—to access multiple JA platforms and applications using one account (that’s one email address and one password for everything!). We’re currently undergoing a staff-only beta test of JA ID. To create or troubleshoot your account, visit the JA ID info page.
Key Features of JA ID
There’s a lot to love about JA ID:
Single sign-on capability across JA platforms (one username; one password)
Enhanced security to ensure the protection of user information
Improved connectivity and interoperability between JA applications, whether created locally, nationally, regionally, or globally
Simplified access for users across different JA locations, without loss of local control over sites and apps
JA ID streamlines access to JA’s digital resources while enhancing security and user experience.
Benefits to You and Your JA Location
In addition to the security benefits mentioned above, JA ID benefits you personally, as well as your JA location:
You’ll have a streamlined user experience. When the system is fully operational, you’ll have only a single login for all your JA platforms . . . no more time spent trying multiple usernames or passwords or repeatedly logging in.
For your JA location, fewer password resets mean less strain on Help Desk and system administrator resources.

Digital Collaboration Framework
Technology has changed the way young people access, engage with, and share content. It has also spawned a larger cultural transformation tied to expectations about the ease and speed with which content crosses borders and its relevance for a broad community of consumers. Such cross-border expectations create a new opportunity—as well as a new challenge—for JA to reach students, teachers, volunteers, and other stakeholders.
Supporting and collaborating on technology innovation throughout the JA network will foster the production, sharing, and deployment of the widest possible variety of high-quality digital instruction, in order to support both in-person and virtual instruction that actively engages students. To address both opportunities and challenges we have created a new Digital Collaboration Framework (read or download the PDF) and Digital Collaboration Guidelines (read or download the PDF).
In addition, the LX (Learning Experience) Working Group is using an LX & Technology Roadmap as an ongoing working document. This file includes priority projects across all six ROCs and JA Worldwide to coordinate major development projects (see the current version here).
Contact Caroline Jenner with any questions related to the Digital Collaboration Framework and LX & Technology Roadmap.
Inspire–Prepare–Succeed
The JA network offers a rich portfolio of learning experiences to students around the world, both virtually and in-person. Advances in digital program delivery throughout the network have laid bare the need for an equally advanced way to serve JA students. Historically, JA offices have considered only student experiences that meet specific program-implementation models or standards, but with the evolving delivery and nature of JA programs, our network needs to be able to track these new ways of learning.
In response to advances in student experiences, digitization of programs, virtual program delivery, and the ever-growing list of JA learning experiences, we’re rolling out a new methodology for counting student experiences and measuring impact. We call it Inspire–Prepare–Succeed. The new methodology enhances and supports the global JA network, and enables a more transparent view of the diversity of JA’s offerings.
With Inspire–Prepare–Succeed, JA student experiences are broken down into three categories:
Inspire: Introductory learning experiences that pique a student’s interest
Prepare: Core learning experiences that build skills, attitudes, and competencies
Succeed: Applied learning experiences that demonstrate mastery of competencies in the real world

JADE
What is the JA Data Experience?
The all-new JA Data Experience—or JADE—will replace Hewitt as the platform supporting the annual reporting process for the JA network. Using Microsoft PowerBI, JADE is built for flexibility to meet the varied needs of JA’s many stakeholders. With Increased Data Relevance as a JA Worldwide Strategic Priority, and the growing need to increase the frequency of data analysis in the network, JADE will help streamline data collection and enable easier access to data not only for annual reporting but provide robust analytics year-round.
Why JADE?
Support organizational Strategic Objectives and operationally driven decision-making
Fixed, flexible, freestyle reporting with tailored analytics, including impact score
Incorporation of Inspire–Prepare–Succeed classifications and regional and local key performance areas to better support collaboration
Integration with additional platforms such as Gather, worldwide census information, Program Central, and more to further JA global analytics

Global Reporting Starts July 3, 2025
With the new fiscal year comes the annual opportunity to report your data. Stakeholders, including funders and the general public, publish, distribute, and rely on your data, sharing it in strategic plans, annual reports and factbooks, websites, funder and grant compliance and reporting, and impact reports around the JA network.
An official announcement that the system is open, as well as materials and guides to help with the process, are coming soon. In the meantime, you can prepare by downloading a calendar reminder by clicking the button below.
