Testimonials

Since 1980, JAG has served more than 40,000 young people across Arizona in Avondale, Camp Verde, Coolidge, Eloy, Gila Bend, Glendale, Guadalupe, Peoria, Phoenix, Sells, Scottsdale, Tempe, Tolleson, and Tonopah. Here's what our 2023 cohort had to say about their JAG experience:

Paula, Camp Verde High School - "JAG makes me feel like I have a purpose in this life and I can be successful no matter what my back story is. It has helped me learn more about myself and what I want do in the future. Getting to hear from people in job fields I didn't know about expanded my mind of what I want to do."

Anthony, Paradise Valley High School - "The best thing about JAG is how they give you many job opportunities as well as making resumes to practice for job interviews and giving back to your community. And being able to be given many opportunities to build your leadership skills and to work better with your peers in JAG."

Cristian, West Point High School - "The best thing about JAG has to be the environment. Being with people who wish to be successful and are willing to push not just each other but themselves."
