Jobs for Maine's Graduates
Our mission is to identify students who face barriers to education, and to guide each one on to a successful path toward continued education, a meaningful career, and productive adulthood.
Our vision is to be a champion for all Maine students facing barriers to education. We understand Maine's future will be a reflection of what we commit and contribute to our youth.
The 4-year graduation rate for JMG students is consistently 90% or higher.
97% of JMG students stay in school, and return to school the following year.

Every year, JMG students provide more than 20,000 hours of community service.
JMG serves more than 4,000 students per year in its 64 programs throughout Maine.
JMG has been named the "Best Program in the Nation" by Jobs for America's Graduates for 17 consecutive years.
