iJAG (Iowa Jobs for America's Graduates)

iJAG is an nonprofit organization associated with the national affiliate, Jobs for Americas Graduates. Since in 1999, iJAG has led the implementation of age-appropriate career development curriculum, resources and experiences for middle school and high school students across Iowa and Illinois. Currently, the organization serves more than 7,200 students. iJAG participants are determined annually by school administrators - typically identified as students who are disengaged at school, who are at a high-risk of dropping out or who lack skills and motivation to continue their education and pursue stable employment. “Every Student. No Matter What” reflects iJAG’s commitment to provide tailored guidance to every student regardless of barriers or personal situations.
