2025 Goals
JMG aims to seize on our unique position and expertise to deepen the connection between education and employers. Our goal is to enhance and advance a system of career readiness that prepares students for successful post-secondary opportunities and credentials of value attainment. Our students come from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic realities, including low-income, students with disabilities, students experiencing the foster care system or homelessness, and students who face inequities due to race, ethnicity, gender identity or personal, social and academic challenges. This year, JMG will serve more than 12,000 students across Maine’s 16 counties through over 150 school partnerships and community collaborations, including programming on every Maine public university and community college campus.

Volunteer Opportunities
JMG’s success is dependent on the involvement of hundreds of stakeholders and rests upon the strong foundation of an unwavering commitment to our core student-centered values. By connecting students to employers and community-based organizations outside of school, students begin to see life through a different lens. Students learn and are able to demonstrate leadership, decision-making and team-building skills. They begin working in teams and gain insights into the value of their contributions. For JMG students, these experiences often become touchstones for personal growth, as well as motivators for learning within school.
Volunteer opportunities include volunteering at student events, providing student internships, inviting students on a company tour, volunteering to speak in a classroom, or offering job shadowing experiences at your place of work.
