Every JJP project creates a chance for a young person to learn, contribute, and grow while making a real difference in their community. Your support helps make those experiences possible.
Make a gift
Give today. Help us build tomorrow's leaders.
Your gift helps create opportunities to learn, serve, lead and make a difference in their communities. Every contribution helps provide the resources and experiences that turn small acts of services into big futures.
Give once, or give monthly. Monthly is the one that lets us plan.

What a gift actually pays for
Six things, and they are all the same thing really: a supervised crew out doing real work in their own community, and coming away with something they keep.
Equipment for the job
Gloves, tools, bags, and safety gear, on site and ready before the crew arrives. Real work deserves real equipment, not whatever could be found on the morning.
Hydration in the heat
Cold water, coolers, and ice, because a summer afternoon in Arkansas does not negotiate. No crew works a project without something to drink within reach.
Transportation there and back
Distance should not be the thing that decides whether a young person gets to work. Gifts help cover the trip out to a project and home again, agreed with each family before the day.
Community funding
Some of the work a neighborhood needs most is work nobody has a budget to book. A gift puts a crew of 4 to 6 young people, with two or more adults supervising, on those projects anyway.
Resources that outlast the job
Materials, mentoring, and the guidance that turns an afternoon of work into a skill. The pay matters on the day, and the skills are the part a young person keeps.
Vetting and approval
The review every project goes through before it goes live, and the background check behind every crew leader.
You will notice there are no dollar figures against any of that. We would rather put numbers here once they come from real projects than guess at them now.
Other ways to give
Money is not the only useful thing
A shed full of tools, a business willing to put its name behind a crew, or a Saturday morning all count.
In kind
Give something instead of money
Tools, equipment, and supplies a crew can put to work on a project. Tell us what you have and we will come back on whether we can use it.
Offer an in-kind giftBusiness support
Back the work as a business
Local businesses can get behind crews and projects in their own community. Start a conversation and we will work out what fits.
Talk about sponsorshipTime
Give your time instead
Crew leaders mentor and supervise a crew of 4 to 6 young people on community projects. It is the one thing money cannot stand in for.

Not giving today? That is fine too
Booking a crew gives young people the same chance to work, learn, and do something real for their community. So does leading one.
