As we kick off a new year, we’re starting a Feature Friday to help our supporters get to know JA better! Each week we’ll feature a student, sponsor, volunteer or staff member that helps shape our organization’s story.

For our first ‪#‎featurefriday‬ we have Jabarri Weston. He is a senior at Chamblee High School who currently serves as President of Gadget Tree, the JA Fellows company at the IHG host site.

Jabarri, shown here with Tyler Mccain, has worked his way up the leadership ladder within JA Fellows, and credits Tyler for helping him do so.

"He saw potential in me that I didn't see in myself and since that time, he has taught me the skills to be a leader. Tyler, a science aficionado, used rules from Isaac Newton, specifically his 2nd Law of Motion (for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction) to make the motto "Fail Harder," because the harder we fail at something, the better we will succeed."
