Shout out to some of our new GED graduates! 🎉

Nokivia moved to Ohio from Mississippi. When she first started the program a year ago, she was going through a stressful time, but she remained hopeful and dedicated to obtaining her GED. She has held a job while attending GED classes and having 3 small children. She has worked so hard, studying, practicing and helping others. She never lost sight of her dream and has been determined to provide a stable life for her children. With her GED in hand, she is interested in pursuing a degree in a medical field and hopes to provide others with support and mentorship in the future.

Cali has been enrolled with JOG for about a year and has 3 beautiful children in which she has worked so hard to provide for. She is an incredibly intelligent young lady and decided to commit to her plan of achieving her GED in 2024, finally being able to achieve this feat in August!

Congrats to both of these amazing young women! 🙌

How’s your New Year’s resolution going so far? 🤔

We know sticking to big goals can be tricky, but here’s a pro tip: Start by setting ONE goal at a time! Break it down into smaller steps and tackle each part as you go. Want to eat healthier? Begin by mastering meal prep for the day, then work your way up to the week, and eventually, the whole month! Small wins lead to big success—one step at a time!

⭐ 2024 Year in Review ⭐

This year's JOG Leadership Development Conference was truly one-of-a-kind! Students participated in engaging sessions covering valuable topics like conflict management, leadership skills, and what great leadership looks like. Keynote Speaker, Maurice Martin, inspired and captivated the audience, sharing insights on how participants already possess the qualities of a leader and how to bring that vision to life.

In 2024, we were able to continue expanding the great programming that you know and love, as well as reintroducing more ways for participants to showcase their life skills they learned through JOG, like our State Career Development Conference. We couldn’t be prouder of the amazing work from our participants and the lasting impacts made by all of our JOG staff!

❤️ On Friday, one of our incredible JOG participants at Pleasant View Healthcare in Barberton took the lead to create something truly special: a holiday party for the residents and their families! 🌲

From planning and decorating to inviting others to ensure every resident felt included, she brought smiles, laughter, and the magic of the season to life. ✨ Moments like these highlight the kindness and leadership our students bring to their workplaces and communities! They also remind us that one person’s efforts—big or small—can make a world of difference. 💙

Let’s celebrate her hard work and heartwarming effort to make the holidays brighter for everyone! 👏

🎉 Game time! 🎁

JOG students at Massillon Washington High School had a blast yesterday playing the saran wrap ball game—a fun way to celebrate the upcoming holiday break! 🎄✨

If you’ve played this game before, you know the excitement: racing against the clock, unwrapping layers of saran wrap, and discovering goodies along the way. (Spoiler: It gets competitive! 😅)

What’s your favorite holiday game or tradition? Drop it in the comments—we’d love to hear how you celebrate the season! 🎉

At JOG, we love mixing fun with opportunities for connection and celebration. After all, creating meaningful moments for students is what we’re all about! 💙
