What Jobs for America's Graduates-New Hampshire (JAG-NH) does

Jobs for America's Graduates-New Hampshire (JAG-NH) is a Concord, New Hampshire-based 501(c)-style nonprofit workforce development organization operating as the state affiliate of the national Jobs for America's Graduates network. Founded circa 1987 (with the JAG-NH entity formally established in 2012 per national-affiliate records), the organization employs approximately 8 staff and delivers year-round programming to 400+ middle school, high school, and out-of-school youth annually across nine programs in New Hampshire, reporting a 98% student graduation rate. Its core technology is the JAG National Model — an evidence-based, structured framework combining Project-Based Learning, Resiliency Skills Training, Support Services, and Employer Engagement — which it localizes for NH students and employers. The portfolio comprises In-School Programs (Career Specialists embedded in partner middle and high schools including Manchester Memorial HS, Woodsville HS, Berlin HS, Kreiva Academy, Parkside MS, and Southside MS), Out-of-School Programs under federal WIOA Career Pathways (youth ages 16-24 with paid training up to $6,500 and support services up to $1,500 per participant across Healthcare, Hospitality, Construction, and Technology training tracks), and a State Career Association student leadership program.

Programs are free to participants. JAG-NH's revenue mechanics are a hybrid nonprofit funding stack: federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) per-participant reimbursements flow through the NH WORKS / American Job Center Network, supplemented by corporate sponsorships (AT&T, Bank of America, Bank of New Hampshire, Hannaford, Town Fair Tire, MVSB, Flynn Group/Planet Fitness), foundation grants (NH Charitable Foundation, Red Sox Foundation, Granite United Way, Fidelity Charitable, Ann Theodore Foundation), state government support via the NH Department of Business and Economic Affairs, congressional advocacy (Rep. Chris Pappas), and individual donations. Customer segments split between primary beneficiaries (students/youth ages 11-24) and secondary constituencies (school administrators as referral partners, employers as placement and training partners, and a broad funder ecosystem). Distribution is community-led and event-driven: Career Specialists deliver programs directly inside schools and through regional offices in Concord, Laconia (Lakes Region), and Keene, with outreach via the website, email newsletter, Career Development Conferences, and the State Career Association.
