WHAT IS JAG?

From homelessness to health issues, thousands of young people face tremendous obstacles to thriving in school. What’s more, just two in ten students feel high school readies them for the workforce right out of school – and 77% of employers agree.

JAG is the national program that’s solving these challenges – and the only program of its kind. Our specialists teach elective classes for credit in high schools, middle schools and after school programs. We provide vital job skills, hands-on experience, and a year of post-grad support, nurturing students from classroom to career.

Four decades of data prove the JAG program works. By lifting the barriers for America’s youth, we uplift our communities, workforce and economy. Our 1.6 million graduates agree!
