Jan Murfield, President, Junior Achievement of Dallas joined host Tyler Kern, and Bill Kasko, President and CEO, Frontline Source Group, Inc, to discuss her passion for Junior Achievement. The Junior Achievement organization is the world’s largest non-profit dedicated to educating students in grades K-12 about entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy through hands-on training. Kasko’s excitement about this topic stems from his journey as a kid in the Junior Achievement company program. Murfield noted, “kids who go through the Junior Achievement company program are two and a half times more likely to start their own business than the general population.” Murfield’s passion for non-profit work and teaching financial literacy led her to her current role with Junior Achievement of Dallas. “What a great thing,” said Murfield, “to go to kids who are from underserved communities and show them about budgeting. Think of the difference this could make in the lives of these kids.” Volunteers are essential for the success of Junior Achievement. Murfield said they need 5,000 volunteers this year to service 55,000 students in the greater Dallas area. The types of volunteers Murfield looks for to support Junior Achievement’s mission are people who want to give back to the community, but also love kids. All kinds of entrepreneurs from the Dallas area are needed to help teach children, even for just a single one-hour class. This program makes a huge difference in children’s lives, and Lopez said, students who enroll in the Junior Achievement program increase their odds of attending college after high-school graduation.

The Journey of Tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs Begins with Junior Achievement, with Jan Murfield

Meet Jan Murfield, President of Greater Dallas Junior Achievement, talking about this valuable youth program with Seated2Serve Host Jeff Bickerstaff. Founded 65 years ago, Junior Achievement has always been focused on work careers and entrepreneurs. Today the mission to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in the global economy is still core, teaching age appropriate hands-on financial literacy and business concepts as early as first grade. This is a HUGE undertaking, and one that has captured Jan's heart. Business owners need to know they will serve 55,000 students between Tyler and Dallas this year, and JA needs the support of the local business sector to do it well. In order to break the cycle of poverty, students need to understand what careers can do for them. Jan shares that recruiting volunteers this year couldn't be more important. Listen in to learn what it looks like to volunteer on any level. Without you, they'll only have enough volunteers to serve half! Go to JADallas.org to get involved right away. With such a large area to cover, you're sure to find a location that gives you the opportunity to work for an hour a week, to a full day at JA Biztown. Connect with JA on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.Seated2Serve is sponsored by:The Trade Group (800) 343-2005Bacon Roofing (972) 772-1999Jeanie Marten Real Estate (972) 414-0719Confection Perfection by Melissa, (972) 333-5189Bickerstaff Insurance and Financial Services, (972) 771-4992Jeff Bickerstaff has worked with the city councils of Richardson, Murphy, Forney, and Garland, and currently holds place 6 in Sachse, Texas.
