Nonprofit Overview
Mission: JDG’s mission is to enable students to achieve academic, career, personal, and social success. Jobs for Delaware Graduates (JDG) was organized in 1979 as a private, non-profit corporation designed to prepare highly at-risk seniors to transition from school to work. School personnel and the Delaware Private Industry Council encouraged JDG to expand the program to include students in grades 9, 10 and 11. In 1992, JDG piloted a Five-Year Program for students in Grades 9 through 12, plus one year of work placement and training follow-up after graduation. JDG established a partnership with the James H. Groves High Schools in 1989 to provide services to out-of-school youth in a classroom setting. JDG initiated a youth corrections program in 2002 at the Ferris School for Boys and the New Castle County Detention Center. In 2005, JDG expanded once again partnering with the Department of Labor and James H. Groves High Schools and Alternative Education sites to provide individualized services to Out-of-School Youth, ages16-21 years old from Kent and Sussex counties.
