FOJJJA’s Mission

Enriching the well-being and lifestyles of student-athletes and the wider John Jay Campus community is the mission of FOJJJA. This commitment is foundationally about physical fitness, but also extends beyond embracing programs that cultivate critical life skills and promote healthy competition.

Since its inception in 2021, the John Jay Jaguars have symbolized the unity and spirit of collaboration among more than 500 student-athletes from five distinct public high schools. This diverse group of high school students is united in their dedication to excellence across 30 teams, exemplifying the power of sports in bringing together students from varied backgrounds to foster community, respect, and mutual understanding.
