Our programs aren’t one-size-fits-all.

They’re intentionally designed to meet youth where they are in middle schools, high schools, and in the community, offering the mentorship, education, and training they need to envision and build a better future.

From learning how to write a resume to earning industry-recognized credentials, our students grow into leaders, professionals, and changemakers. Each program is structured around the JAG National Model, proven effective across the country, and customized to support the needs of New Hampshire students and employers.

In-School Programs

Our in-school programs operate in middle and high schools across the state. Career Specialists work directly with students to deliver year-round programming focused on:

  • Academic motivation and support

  • Employability skills

  • Leadership development

  • Civic engagement and service

  • Career planning and post-secondary exploration

JAG becomes more than a class; it becomes a community of encouragement and accountability.
