Korda's transformation culminated in a trip to Washington, D.C., where she shared her powerful JAG story with Nevada's senators and representatives. JAG empowers students to find their path, and Korda's story is just one example.

"It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail." - Jimmy Carter President Carter's words resonate deeply, especially when we reflect on his and Mrs. Carter's decades-long commitment to service through Habitat for Humanity. Their dedication to building homes and hope is a powerful example of turning determination into tangible impact. Inspired by their legacy, Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) has partnered with Habitat for Humanity since 2022, and the results are truly remarkable. Together, we've raised over $25,000 and contributed an incredible 8,384 hours of service – that's equivalent to a combined economic impact of $159,334.92!
