Whether you're an experienced Junior Activities Chair (JAC), a first-time Age Manager, or just stepping into a supporting role, you’ll find everything you need right here to feel confident and prepared.
From program guides and safety checklists to activity ideas and communication tips, this page brings together essential tools and templates to help you plan, lead, and inspire.
