Judy Zerafa is the founder of the Seven Keys to Success Life Program™ and author of the national bestseller, GO FOR IT! (Workman Publishing / 1982), the first how-to book for teens. To date the book has sold a half-million copies. Judy has motivated hundreds of thousands to jumpstart their lives in her corporate seminars, professional training and school programs. She is a sought-after speaker on the topics of success, learning, parenting and motivation. The success of her methods for achieving across age, gender and socio-economic boundaries led to the founding of the GO FOR IT! Institute in 2003. Among other educational programs, the Institute offers a continuing education credit curriculum within a Masters in Education program in Colorado. Judy leads both the Board of Directors and the Institute staff, and is the primary presenter, fundraiser and spokesperson for GO FOR IT!
Judy Zerafa’s Seven Keys to Success Life Program™ was developed after extensive interviews with recipients of the Horatio Alger Award. Recipients are Americans who have succeeded entirely through their own efforts; many of them despite adversity. Zerafa’s research revealed seven specific attributes identified as essential to human success.
She lives in Denver, Colorado and is the mother of three grown children and three grandchildren. Zerafa will release a book about a ground-breaking approach to permanent weight loss later in 2011.
Judy Zerafa, speaking passionately and clearly about the myriad benefits of the GO FOR IT! Family Program, is currently the featured podcast at the popular site: www.strategiesforliving.com

Scroll on the time bar to 2:20 to see the TV video clip highlighting the benefits of the GO FOR IT! Program within a local school.
Every 26 seconds, another high school student drops out of school. The loss of 1.2 million graduates annually imposes unquantifiable costs on every family and every community across our nation. Even though policymakers continue to seek improvement in U.S. schools by increasing government control, decades of increased spending and increased federal control have yielded little improvement in student performance. The harsh realities of these drop-out rates will continue to impact the cycle of poverty in our nation. Students that drop out are:
- 8 times more likely to go to prison;
- 50% less likely to vote;
- More likely to need social welfare assistance;
- Not eligible for 90% of jobs; and
- Paid 40 cents to the dollar.
Even among those students who do graduate from our nation’s high schools, a significant number receive diplomas without possessing the necessary skills to succeed in life. This fact represents a considerable impact on the economy and the health of communities and families across the nation.
