That's a Wrap - JA of Georgia Year End Snapshot!

Despite the unprecedented circumstances of the past few months, as seen in the snapshot below, JA of Georgia finished the 2019-2020 academic year strong. As we look to the coming year, we are working hard to package our education portfolio to help meet students where they are—whether that's in-person, virtual, or a hybrid model. We are excited to continue expansion of our footprint across Georgia as construction is well underway for the new JA Discovery Center of Greater Dalton and planning has commenced for our fifth JA Discovery Center which will serve students in the Savannah region.

A fantastic 2018-2019!

This school year marked unprecedented growth and success for JA of Georgia. From opening a third JA Discovery Center, to celebrating our centennial as a broader organization, we continued empowering and inspiring our students to get them ready for their futures. To our partners, volunteers, educators and advocates - thank you! Our continued impact would be impossible without your support.
