AUGUST 6 AUGUST 12 JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT RANKED AMONG THE WORLD’S TOP TEN SOCIAL-GOOD ORGANIZATIONS For the eighth year in a row, Junior Achievement has been named one of the world’s ten most impactful social-good organizations, earning the #5 spot in the 2026 ranking by Switzerland-based thedotgood. The annual ranking – which began in 2012 under the name NGO Advisor – honors the most influential and innovative organizations in the global social-good sphere. Five years ago, NGO Advisor rebranded as thedotgood to reflect a broader view of purpose-driven organizations. Recognizing that terms like “NGO” and “nonprofit” no longer fully capture the energy and direction of today’s changemakers, thedotgood champions the growing ecosystem of social-good organizations (SGOs) that prioritize sustainable impact over traditional metrics. 2,417 YOUNG PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN THE EUROPEAN ARRIVE PROGRAM, CARRIED OUT WITH SUPPORT FROM THE CITI FOUNDATION During the 2025-2026 school year, 2,417 young people across four countries took part in the European ARRIVE program, supported by the Citi Foundation.
