You need a new sponsor to extend your J1 visa or your previous sponsor to apply for an extension.

The U.S. Information Agency may grant an extension beyond the usual program maximum where sufficient need is shown. Generally, however, such extensions are rarely provided.

How Do I Extend My Stay?
Exchange Student or Training (J1 Visa)
http://www.us-immigration-attorney.com/j1.htm

Those visitors who wish to stay beyond the time indicated on their Form I-94 must contact the Department of Homeland Security's Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services to request an application to extend status. The decision to grant or deny a request for extension of stay is made solely by the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services.

You may extend J-1 visa to complete your exchange visitor program. Apply for J-1 Extension here...
