A $3.3 Million Boost for Dreams! We’re thrilled to announce that JAG has been awarded a $3.3 million grant to expand our youth workforce development programs! This incredible funding will fuel our mission to help young people, especially those from underserved communities, unlock their full potential and build brighter futures.

We're so proud of our amazing JAGCA officers, president Frida Medrano and secretary Alondra Luna, for sharing their inspiring stories. Their words remind us of the strength, resilience, and determination of our Hispanic community during #HispanicHeritageMonth. "As a first-generation daughter of immigrant parents, I feel like they've sacrificed a lot for me. All I really want is for them to be happy, and I really want us to be successful and to give them the life that they deserve; the life that they've been fighting for; the life that they dreamed for. And I hope that I can get there someday. JAG has provided me with a platform to stand on my feet and figure out ways I can do that." - Frida "I hope to lead by example and show JAG students que si se puede. I see this month as an opportunity to celebrate those who came before us and did the hard work so we can comfortably be who we want to be and feel proud to say we are Hispanic." - Alondra #Inspiration #Latinx #student #nonprofit #story
