but the need grows
JAG has grown substantially since its inception in 1980, yet schools are on a waiting list for our programs.
Donations and support from individuals, investors, and partners help us provide JAG programs without delay and expand our services to youth everywhere we are needed: in cities, rural communities, and beyond.
The JAG Advantage™
is the only all-inclusive program of its kind – and boasts a 96% graduation rate!
Established in 1980, Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) provides elective classes for credit taught by Specialists in high schools, middle schools, and after-school programs. Students acquire vital job skills, get hands-on experience, and receive a year of post-grad support, nurturing students through as they transition into career and post-secondary education.
More than 40 years of data prove JAG works. Today, our students are achieving the best outcomes in JAG’s history.
