JMG Student of the Year starts second year at SMC
Mia Clay, who is registered to vote in her first presidential election, told legislators, “JMG changed my life. Like a lot of kids, I was told I would not amount to much. JMG showed me a different path, how employability skills mattered — things like communication, teamwork, showing up on time, critical thinking. Many students at my school have barriers to overcome, like poverty, growing up in foster care, crime, drug abuse. Our JMG team is there to help us not only overcome barriers, but succeed in school, employment and life.”
