Empowering Youth
We are a non-profit social enterprise that links youth from underserved communities with the resources and support needed to create local change.
OUR VISION
JUMP! envisions a world where young people fulfill their true potential as individuals, community leaders, and global citizens. This applies to all youth, regardless of background or circumstance.
OUR PROMISE
As a non-profit social enterprise, 25% of surplus for all of our paid program fees go directly into the J!Development Fund, supporting community development locally and globally.
IMPACT INVESTING!
As a social enterprise, JUMP! assigns surplus from all its programs to designing, developing and implementing development projects for underserved youth.
SUSTAINABILITY
We believe in the United Nations – Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. You can find the spirit of sustainability throughout all aspects of our organization and programs.
OUR REACH

Do You Have Any Questions?
If so, our team is always happy to get an email or phone call. For the most common questions, we’ll try to cover them in the sections below:
Are your Programs Free or Do You Charge?
Great Question! This is a something that often needs clarification. JUMP! Experience and School programs are paid for by schools and institutions that have the means and also are dedicated to empowering their students as global citizens.
We then take the surplus from those paid programs in order to reinvest them in bringing the same experiential learning programs to serve underprivileged youth.

What is a JUMP! Program?
A program is a learning experience, either in a traditional building or outside in the world. We develop 3 types of programs at JUMP!:
- J! Schools: Programs utilizing personal development, community building, and global citizenship methods to enhance learning on a campus.
- J! Experiences: Programs venturing into the real world outside the walls of the school.
- J! Development: Programs working with local partners in underserved communities in the regions we work in most.
What is The JUMP! Foundation?
