How You Can Help
Give to the Jefferson Innovation Fund
Unrestricted giving sustains Jefferson's spirit of innovation in mathematics, science and technology education. It gives TJ the freedom and the flexibility to respond to new ideas, and seize new opportunities. As we work to advance educational excellence at TJ, unrestricted gifts will help get us from where we are today to where we need to be tomorrow.
Unrestricted gifts go directly toward solving Jefferson's most pressing needs. They create opportunities. They keep Jefferson's great program of learning—teaching and research alike—moving forward in the development of best practices. And they are invaluable to Jefferson's margin of excellence.
Parent Advisory Board
The Parent Advisory provides leadership in organizing initiatives that expand and enhance parent and alumni parent support. Interested parents serve as representatives for each current class and for TJ’s alumni parents. Key activities of the Parent Committee include the annual year-end Campaign, a parent-to-parent phonathon, and parent education and outreach.
Please contact the Parent Advisory Board Chair if you are interested in joining the committee.
