Imagine walking into a classroom that feels more like a space designed to inspire. Soft lights, floor pillows, and a small table that becomes a hub for creative collaboration. This is the vision for our Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) classroom - a place where students do not just come to learn but to thrive.
Our JAG students are truly special, and many of them are overcoming significant personal and academic challenges, yet they show up every day determined to build a better future.
They are dreamers, innovators, and emerging leaders with the potential to become tomorrow's entrepreneurs, creators, and changemakers.
Revamping our classroom with flexible seating and inspirational posters is more than just a decor change—it's an intentional step toward empowering our students with choice, ownership, and a sense of belonging.
By helping us create this dynamic space, you're not just contributing to classroom furniture but investing in a future where every student feels seen, supported, and ready to lead.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
