INTRODUCTION
Turning Around Lives: How JUMP Makes a Difference
Juvenile Uplifting Mentor Program (JUMP) is a data-driven program that utilizes evidence-based practices to help at-risk youth and their families.
Our mission is to prevent recurring criminal activity by strengthening the juveniles’ ties to their families and communities. Through a combination of mentoring, casework services, and community resources, JUMP provides the support juveniles need to make positive choices and reach their full potential.
How We Help?
Mentoring:
- Mentors are trained volunteers who provide juveniles with positive role models and emotional support.
- They meet with juveniles regularly in their homes, schools, and communities to help them develop healthy coping mechanisms, set goals, and stay on the right track.
Casework Services:
- JUMP’s qualified caseworkers work with juveniles and their families to identify and address underlying challenges that may be contributing to delinquent behavior.
- This may include providing support with housing, education, mental health, substance abuse, and family relationships.
Community Resources:
- JUMP connects juveniles and their families with a network of community resources that can provide additional support and opportunities.
- This may include educational programs, job training, recreational activities, and counseling services.
