Thrive: JA Worldwide Strategic Plan,
2026–2028

The JA Worldwide 2026–2028 Strategic Plan was approved in July 2025 by the JA Worldwide Board of Governors. Although it took us a year to create the new plan, the real work begins now: Turning strategy into action across our global network. To make that possible, we’ve created a Strategic Planning Toolkit, plus loads of other tools and worksheets.

Strategic Planning Toolkit

The Strategic Planning Toolkit is a hands-on resource designed to help every JA member and regional office translate the 2026–2028 JA Strategic Plan into meaningful local action. It walks you through the full process—from understanding the global framework to customizing it for your own realities and communicating it effectively to boards, partners, and funders.

Inside, you’ll find background on JA’s 2050 aspiration, global priorities, and strategic enablers; workshop guides and facilitation tools to lead team discussions; templates and worksheets for developing a local plan; and ready-made messaging and presentation materials. Whether you’re updating an existing strategy or building one from scratch, the toolkit gives you everything you need to align globally, act locally, and demonstrate measurable impact as part of the OneJA network.

Take the JA Stakeholder Engagement Survey

The 2026–2028 JA Worldwide Strategic Plan includes a strategic enabler called “Stakeholder Engagement,” which seeks to validate, strengthen, and expand the audience messaging already available at oneja.org/messaging. Your input will help us determine whether we need to add to the seven audiences identified, improve the profiles we created for each, expand the JA messaging sections, and add sections on the best platforms on which to reach these audiences, action items for each audiences, and more.

Estimated time to complete: 3–5 minutes. Please complete by December 31, 2025.

Listen to Bi-Monthly Strategy Sessions

Approximately every two weeks, from July through the Global Leadership Conference in November, JA Worldwide hosted 30-minute, focused conversations on the strategic plan, tracking progress, answering your questions, and spotlighting what’s working. To catch up, listen to the sessions, below.
