On May 25, 2025, runners from JA Europe will gather in Brussels for the annual 20km race. For us at JA, this is more than just a race. It’s a powerful movement to empower young entrepreneurs and shape the future through the #20kmFor20MillionYouth campaign.
JA Europe has a bold ambition: by 2050, JA in Europe will reach 20 million young people per year, equipping them with essential skills in entrepreneurship, work readiness, financial literacy, and digital innovation. Every step taken by our team on race day symbolises progress toward this goal.
But we can’t do it alone, your support is crucial in helping young minds turn ideas into reality.
In 2024 alone, JA Europe provided nearly 7 million learning experiences across 42 countries. With your donation, we can expand our impact even further, ensuring that more young people gain access to the education and opportunities they need to succeed.
The power of your support
Your contribution directly funds programmes that teach entrepreneurship and innovation, empowering the next generation of leaders and change-makers. Among the alumni who have benefited from these initiatives are healthtech pioneer Natalia Konova, sustainable fashion entrepreneur Vivien Wysocki, and climate tech innovator Robin Saluoks, all of whom transformed their JA experiences into thriving businesses that create real-world impact.
