About General Assembly
The Jessica Vollman Foundation was founded to continue the legacy of the late Jessica “Jess” Vollman — one of GA’s first employees and the former Director of New Market Expansion. While at GA, Jess worked to develop the company’s go-to-market strategy, managed launch operations, and strategic partnerships, enabling the company to scale from a startup with a handful of employees to a thriving global organization with 700 employees across 14 cities.

“For years, I wanted to attend General Assembly but the price seemed out of reach. I received a wonderful opportunity through the Jessica Vollman Foundation, and I couldn't turn it down.
