JASANextGen Teens and JASANextGen Young Leaders
JASANextGen is a volunteer advocacy program led by the next generation to educate and advocate on issues relating to older adults. JASANextGenners join monthly meetings to learn about a range of topics from food insecurity to elder abuse, help raise critical funds for our annual JASAEats campaign, take the lead in volunteer projects, and participate in mini-internships.
JASANextGen Teens (ages 12-17) have the opportunity to hone their leadership skills and learn more about different career fields while JASANextGen Young Adults (ages 18-22) focus on career development and networking.
Projects for Both Groups Include:
- Mini-internships in the fields of development, communications, event planning, volunteer management, and continuing education
- Interview JASA seniors to help tell the stories of JASA clients
- Work on social media posts for JASANextGen's social media channels
- Assist with creating content for JASANexGen's newsletter
- Create fundraising campaigns to raise money for vulnerable older adults
- Participate in career development events with JASA staff and corporate partners
- Lead volunteer event(s) with fellow NextGenners and seniors
- Start a JASANextGen club at your highschool
