Event proceeds help bring JA to tens of thousands of young people in NJ through the JA High School Heroes youth development & service-learning initiative, inspiring tomorrows and ensuring their bright futures.
This empowering student leadership initiative gives high school students the opportunity to serve as role models at an elementary or middle school in their district – in person or virtually.
