STUDENT STORIES
“This wonderful opportunity has changed my life forever.”
– Seth Kenner, National Career Association Parliamentarian
“A week and a half ago, I was in Washington, representing the state of Virginia, speaking to district representatives, and meeting over 300 people from all over the United States. We learned new techniques to improve the education system, and I was the voice of many immigrants wanting to continue their education. I am proud of the achievements I was told were not possible. JAG helped me realize the world is not over when you’re 16. It’s just beginning!
I want to thank @jag.national @jvgsuccess for this opportunity, for believing in me, for opening doors I thought would never be open, and for doing so for more than 300 students nationwide. Each of you can do what you set out to. I am incredibly proud of you!”
“I am proud to have achieved what many said I couldn’t.”

Alabama JAG and The Salvation Army donate 2,800 pairs of socks!
Jobs for Alabama’s Graduates State Ambassadors initiated and executed a state-wide sock drive for the Alabama State Career Association’s community service project. The State Ambassador Team promoted the initiative by encouraging local Career Association Chapters to collect as many new socks as possible for The Salvation Army’s Grate Patrol Program. The state-wide campaign amassed 2,800 pairs of socks.
The State Ambassador Team donated in person at the Salvation Army’s warehouse in Hyattsville, Maryland.
Alabama JAG students are so thankful for the gift of giving!
