men and women
have participated in

JUMPSTART desires that
graduates thrive and can
do so when they:
-
Are gainfully employed in positions that pay a living wage and have growth potential
-
Live in stable housing
-
Are members of a local church
-
Utilize sound financial principles to live within their means and meet their obligations
-
Have a healthy support network, and often become leaders within their communities
-
Live surrendered lives to Jesus Christ
-
Live out God's purpose for their life
We believe God’s future is greater than our past.
JUMPSTART USA was formed in 2015 to bring our prison ministry nationwide, and beyond. God has given us a desire to touch more lives by faithfully sharing the successful JUMPSTART model launched in South Carolina in 2008.
