Written and selected by the JAG State Officers, this year's theme is Different Roots, United Purpose. With this theme, our student leaders honor the unique backgrounds, experiences, and communities that shape every JAG student across Arizona.
Be a part of the experience! By volunteering as a judge, workshop presenter, panelist, or other volunteer, you support students growth through competition, feedback and encouragement.

Panelists
Join one of our inspiring discussion panels and share your journey with JAG students:
Where We Come from Shapes Where We’re Going: Alumni and young professionals from rural communities share how they pursued education, training, and built their careers in diverse industries.
Finding Common Ground for Shared Success: Employers, community leaders, and alumni highlight how teamwork and collaboration drive lasting success.
From Passion to Career: Professionals share how a personal interest, challenge, or “root” became the foundation for a meaningful career and purpose.

Virtual Volunteers
JAG students have worked hard all year to showcase their skills and talents in the CDC Virtual Competitions, and we need your help. Virtual judging can be done from anywhere. Once you sign up, our team will send you additional guidelines and instructions for the competitions you choose.
