Why Your Year-End Donation to Jobs for America’s Graduates Matters
As the CEO of Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG), I am often inspired by the incredible potential and resilience of the young people we serve. Every day, I witness firsthand the transformative impact that JAG has on youth in underserved areas across the United States. As we approach the end of the year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our mission, share our goals, and encourage you to consider supporting JAG with a year-end donation.
Empowering Youth in Underserved Areas
At JAG, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their circumstances. Our programs are designed to equip students with the skills they need to navigate challenges and thrive in the workforce. From job readiness training to mentorship and post-secondary education support, JAG is dedicated to helping youth unlock their full potential.
We serve young people in some of the most underserved communities in our country. These youth often face significant barriers, from economic instability to lack of access to educational resources. Your support is critical in ensuring that we can continue to reach these individuals and provide them with the guidance and resources they need to build a better future.
A Bold Vision: 1 Million Youth Served by 2035
As we look ahead, JAG has set an ambitious goal: to serve 1 million youth annually by 2035 (we’re at 85,000 currently). This vision is not just a number; it represents countless lives changed, families uplifted, and communities strengthened. Achieving this goal requires not only our dedication but also the generous support of individuals and organizations that believe in our mission.
Your donation before the year ends will directly contribute to expanding our programs, enhancing our services, and reaching more young people in need. Every dollar matters. With your help, we can provide essential resources that empower youth to overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams.
Why Now Matters
As the year draws to a close, many of us reflect on the impact we want to make in the world. For those considering charitable giving, there’s no better time to support a cause that aligns with your values. Not only will your contribution make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people, but it may also have tax benefits for you.
Together, we can ensure that every dollar is put to work effectively, reaching the youth who need it most. We’re committed to transparency and accountability, ensuring that your generosity translates into real-world change.
Join Us in Making a Difference
I invite you to join us in this vital work. Your year-end donation to JAG is more than just a gift; it’s an investment in the future of our youth and our communities. Together, we can pave the way for a brighter tomorrow for those who need it most.
As we strive to achieve our goal of serving 1 million youth by 2035 every contribution counts. Please consider donating to JAG before the end of the year. Together, let’s empower the next generation and create lasting change.
Thank you for your support and for believing in the potential of our youth.
With gratitude,
Janelle Duray
