Explore JAG Arizona’s School and Community-Based Programs

At Jobs for Arizona’s Graduates (JAG Arizona), we provide comprehensive programs designed to equip students with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to succeed in school, careers, and life. Whether in the classroom or the community, JAG’s programs focus on academic achievement, leadership development, and career readiness. From middle and high schools to community-based initiatives like JAG Works, we empower students to overcome barriers and build brighter futures.
Middle School to High School Transition
Our Middle to High School Transition program is designed to improve high school graduation rates by bolstering academic, social, and emotional readiness during a critical phase for students. By identifying students facing academic and/or personal challenges, we offer critical academic support, resilience-building activities, and career exploration to emphasize the importance of high school education.

This program is seamlessly integrated into the school day and is executed in partnership with middle and high schools across Arizona.
JAG Graduation Rates are higher than Arizona's
College and Career Readiness
The College and Career Readiness program, a for-credit elective offered in partner high schools, supports Juniors and Seniors as they prepare for their future careers. In addition, JAG Specialists maintain contact with students for 12 months post-graduation, ensuring successful engagement in employment or further education.

Our program's success is reflected in the achievements of our students, which we measure 12 months after their graduation.
