Our Programs
JAG-K operates in 63 Kansas schools that are divided into four regions. Regional Managers provide program support to Career Specialists and students in their regions. The 2020-21 school year will start with 78 programs across the state in 43 school districts.
JAG-K also has a program specifically for Kansas students in foster care. The traditional JAG-K programming and transition services programming are primarily funded through a federal grant from the Kansas Department for Children and Families.
Transition Services
JAG-K, in partnership with the Kansas Department for Children and Families and the Kansas Department of Education, implemented a multi-phase pilot project to help increase successful outcomes for our Kansas students in foster care.
The JAG-K Transition Services Team has Career Specialists assigned to support students in foster care that cannot be part of the traditional JAG-K program. The evidence-based JAG model is the foundation for helping these students prepare for successful futures during a challenging time in their lives.
The JAG-K Transition Services Career Specialist is responsible for advocating for the student, keeping track of their progress toward graduation, and providing necessary support to ensure that the student succeeds in their academic courses as well as attaining life skills and mastering core JAG career and leadership development competencies.
