During his participation within the program Jared was a member of the marketing team where he did photography for Google CLP events, he designed flyers for Google CLP events, he managed their social media pages through Google plus G+ and twitter. He also helped train the New Orleans community as well as business owners on how to use Google tools such as, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and Google Analytics. One of his greatest achievements was assisting with the marketing team in forming the first Google Business Group in the U.S.
