About JA
Junior Achievement's purpose is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. We maintain an active vision, front and center, on how we can have a positive impact on the lives of more students - guided by our core values.
Preparing Students for the Business of LIfe
Junior Achievement of Dallas inspires and prepares young people to succeed in a global economy. Through hands-on learning and connections with volunteer role models, we help students across North Texas build skills in financial literacy, career readiness and entrepreneurship.
Helping Students See What's Possible
JA Dallas connects classroom learning to real life. Our programs give students opportunities to practice managing money, explore career paths and discover what it takes to start and run a business.
These experiences help young people connect their interests and strengths to future opportunities—and build the confidence to take their next steps.
Powered by Community
Educators, volunteers, businesses and community supporters make this work possible. Together, we bring practical learning experiences to students and introduce them to professionals who share their knowledge, experiences and pathways to success.
Whether in a classroom or a simulated community at a JA Discovery Center, students have opportunities to make decisions, work together and learn by doing.
Celebrating Leadership. Inspiring the Future.
The Dallas Business Hall of Fame honors leaders whose business achievements, visionary leadership and community involvement have made a lasting impact on Dallas.
Their stories serve as examples for the next generation, showing students how innovation, determination and service can shape businesses and communities.
Support for the Hall of Fame benefits Junior Achievement of Dallas, helping bring financial literacy, career readiness and entrepreneurship education to more young people across North Texas.
