🚀 JAG-NM’s Student Leadership Academy is coming up! 🚀

On November 4, new Career Association officers from JAG-NM chapters across the state will come together at NewSpace Nexus for a day dedicated to stepping into their new leadership roles.

Youth will work in officer-specific groups and learn directly from industry professionals and community leaders who can share real-world experience, advice, and skills connected to each role.

It’s a chance for our young people to build confidence as leaders, connect with fellow Career Association officers, and leave better prepared to lead their chapters throughout the year.

SAVE THE DATE
November 4 | 9 AM–2 PM
NewSpace Nexus | Albuquerque

We’re looking forward to bringing our new Career Association leaders together!

Along with Vanessa Arballo from Bank On Burque, they were able to get teens connected to safe and affordable banking options!

Youth voice matters, especially where decisions are made. JAG-NM students visited the Roundhouse in Santa Fe to ask questions, share perspectives, and learn how legislation becomes action.

And this JAG Day, our youth were joined by JAG National leaders Jan Ennis, Senior Vice President of Operations, and Stephanie Hartung, Director of Strategic Advancement & Development.

Thank you to the legislators & JAG National reps for guiding our young people & supporting their voices.
