Jac programs & events
Family Night Out
In At-Risk communities we've learned that families are not about to have something as simple as family time. So we created our JAC Family Night Out Initiative where we curate special events and trips for Families!
Youth Entrepreneurship Program
Our Takeshia Jackson Youth Entrepreneurship program is a program that teaches youth the basic skills of entrepreneurship. This program is named after our founders sister who started her business in her twenties before she passed away. Youth leave this program with a full business plan and a seed investment into their business.
Community Cleanup
Community Cleanup
We host Quarterly community cleanups to help keep our community clean. We try to instill in our youth the importance taking care of your community and having a sense of pride in where you live. We partner with local businesses and organizations to assist with resources and providing volunteers for the community clean up!
Private Screenings
Community Cleanup
One of the things our founder loved to do growing up was go to the movies. Going to the movies educates, inspires and allow an escape from reality if only for a brief moment. Whenever there is a movie with historical significance or a heartwarming family film we plan our JAC Family night out and we take the community to the movies. We have done private screenings of 12 years a Slave, Selma, Chiraq, and The Lion King just to name a few.
Annual Breakfast with Santa
Every year we host our annual community breakfast with Santa free. We over 150 families in attendance where each attendant receives breakfast, a picture with Santa to take home and two to three gifts. We also have resource vendors on site for the families to take part in!
