Iowa's Leader in Career Development
Join us in celebrating Giving Tuesday now through Tuesday, November 28! All gifts will directly fund essential program initiatives that unlock student potential, foster lifelong success, and empower the development of future leaders.
SURPRISE! Our partners at Community State Bank will match all donations made to iJAG dollar-for-dollar, up to $5,000. That means, your gift (and impact) will be doubled when you donate to the iJAG Giving Tuesday campaign!

Who we impact
Our classroom education, leadership training and employer events are centered around the unique interests of every student so they can discover, plan and prepare for life after high school.
We leverage evidence-based curriculum, leadership and soft-skills development with employer experiences to bridge education and the workplace. Additionally, our programming is tailored to support district goals to help schools meet academic benchmarks. We ensure every school partner has a custom plan for success!
Whether looking for community involvement opportunities, a philanthropic and DEI-centered partnership and/or strategies that builds talent pipelines, our employer-partnered services
allow organizations to
invest in – and get connected to – young talent.
Our employer-partnered services across various industry sectors in rural and urban communities help fill immediate and long-term workforce development needs and ignite economic productivity.
Additionally, we partner with local nonprofits and service groups to help youth become civic-minded and invested in their community.
