105 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.
70 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.
35 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!
