Celebrating 10 Years with May Matching    

Celebrating 10 Years with a Match from Generous Sponsor 

A generous donor has provided $50,000 to match all individual donations to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of Jobs for Nevada’s Graduates. Starting in May, gifts from individual donors will be matched for as long as funding is available.  

For anyone setting up a recurring donation, we’ll match for the annual amount.   For example, if someone donates $20 per month, the first-year total will be matched with an additional $240, equaling a $480 donation.  

A message from our anonymous donor:

“To commemorate the 10-year anniversary of an organization that is dear to my heart, I am honored to match all gifts given to Jobs for Nevada’s Graduates, up to a total of $50,000. Your gift in any amount will essentially be doubled to help us inspire even more bright futures!”

Donate here today and double the impact of your gift!!!

Jobs for Nevada’s Graduates Rebrands

Yes, we have a new look! We have rebranded to better align with our national organization, Jobs for America’s Graduates, and the rest of the JAG Network. While our acronym and logo have changed, our official name remains the same Jobs for Nevada’s Graduates and we will continue the important work that has defined us for the past 10 years.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be turning over our logos and designs to JAG Nevada.

For the time being, you can still find us at www.j4ng.org and our social media remains @j4ngnv.

The 10th Annual Career Development Conference, “A Decade of Dreams” was a great success. More than 160 students from across Nevada came to Las Vegas to compete and network with their peers.
