Students develop leadership skills and design a plan for continual growth and improvement.As students learn these skills, data shows attendance and achievement increases, graduation rates climb, and they successfully transition to independence in careers, military service or post-secondary education. iJAG stays connected to students for 12 months after they graduate from high school.iJAG achieves collective change by establishing community, building workforce and life skills, and delivering real-world experiences that lead to students belonging, growth, and readiness.iJAG depends on financial investments from private businesses, agencies, and state government to sustain efforts and expand programs.
