100 years ago, three businessmen found that young people, moving from rural areas into bustling cities, were not prepared to enter the workforce and manage their own finances. They developed a group to fill that educational gap.
65 years ago, Junior Achievement opened in Dallas, TX. Tens of thousands of students each year are given life-changing learning experiences thanks to generous donors and volunteers.
30 years ago, JA Dallas began working with local companies to fundraise - ensuring that our programs are still available at no cost to schools and students - through a peer-to-peer fundraiser called "JA Bowl-a-Thon." This event is crucial to our success, and, more importantly, to the success of local students all over the Dallas area!
Thank you for celebrating these milestones with us this year!
