2013 Annual Report
Greetings JUMP! Community,
What does JUMP! stand for? JUMP facilitators hear this question a lot. Obviously, as facilitators we often answer the question with another question:
What do you think it stands for? For me personally, JUMP! stands for many amazing things. It stands for years of challenge, years of growth and years of unyielding passion. It stands for an uncompromising commitment from our amazing community of supporters and champions. It stands for people coming together all around the world to do amazing things. It stands for creating the type of world that we want to live in. It stands for standing up so other people can stand and support others to stand.
But at our core, I feel our organization stands for opportunity. Opportunity for all people in the world to have the experience of being filled with so much inspiration that they have to change, grow, develop and act. Opportunity for all people to be empowered by skills, experiences and perspectives. Opportunity for all people to make the kind of world that they want to live in.
In our programs, we challenge participants to ask themselves some difficult questions, to look inside and use reflection as a powerful point to grow and to learn form. After years of expanding and developing, JUMP! decided to spend 2013 looking at the internal functions of our organization and focused intensely on building a more sustainable model for how we operate. It paid off. As you will see in the pages that follow, we have many accomplishments to report, but one of the biggest accomplishments is that, in December 2013, we officially graduated from a “start-up” into a self-sustaining organization. This was a tremendous JUMP! point for our organization, and we are confident that JUMP! will be around for many years to come. We are honored by all the support that we have received from all of you: the JUMP! Global Community.
Light, love and Laughter,
Justin BedardExecutive Director

About
The JUMP! Foundation is a social enterprise that offers experiential education programs. Established in 2006, JUMP! was created in re-sponse to what its founding members saw as a need in youth education for programs that address issues of leadership and global citi-zenship. In a world that has become flatter and more accessible through new media and globalization, they believed it was important to create a platform from which to facilitate among youth within their own communities as well as with youth in other communities.
Today, JUMP! has a strong network of facilitators, partners and advisors across the globe. We act as a collaborative platform for participants to come together to challenge themselves, inspire one another, and affect change in their surroundings. JUMP! has delivered programs throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and North America. We have utilized the outdoors, cityscapes and various other environments to engage and challenge participants. Our activities provoke reflection, dialogue and everyday application by encouraging individual resilience and broadened horizons. To date, we have delivered our programs directly to over 15,000 youth.

J!Schools Highlights
2013 was an exciting time for JUMP! Schools programs. We began the year redesigning our curriculum, launching the INSPIRE, EMPOWER and ENGAGE program series. The redesign came from a desire to offer more depth to our engagement with students and partners. It was exciting to see our INSPIRE program really take shape, especially working with entire grade levels at GIS KL and BIS Jakarta. We are currently in the pro-cess of finalizing our ENGAGE program which will launch in 2014 as the 3rd part of our leadership series.
2013 was in many ways the year of junior facilitators. Junior facilitators are trained to run experiential activities and facilitate meaningful dis-cussions and reflection. By building their capacity to facilitate, JUMP! Junior Facilitators supported and delivered GIN Conferences, Educator Workshops, Community Days and Student Leadership Retreats in 2013. We are excited at the limitless potential of these amazing individuals and value their continuous dedication and contributions as leaders in their community.
Lastly, our JUMP! Schools partnerships have evolved to a whole new level with the development of a Global Leadership Center at NIST and conversations with many other partners about how we can continue to deliver more innovative programs that challenge our traditional notion of education.
We look forward to continuously providing valuable learning experienc-es to our partners in 2014 and beyond. Additionally, we are constantly striving to innovate and refine our program capabilities and look forward to working with students, educators, and facilitators across the globe in providing premium quality experiential programs.

“I learned that leadership is not just about leading a group;
it is taking the initiative to change something and to guide oth-
ers to make changes as well.” -
In June of 2013, JUMP! once again welcomed a group of students for the start of our 4th program partnering with APSA. This cohort of 36 scholars from all over the United States demonstrated their passion for China and Chinese language, earning scholarships for a six-week-long program studying in and exploring Beijing. With Chinese classes, daily student-led cultural excursions, speaker panels, company visits, and weekend expeditions to the Great Wall, a beautiful mountain village, a migrant school and more, the students deep-ened their connection to China while gaining insights into their own personal leadership and development. JUMP! has been improving the APSA program each year since 2009, and it continues to be a powerful experience both for the scholars and staff involved.
The Duke of Edinburgh International Youth Award goes to... JUMP! facilitated our first IYA program, a Bronze-level Adventure Journey, with 8th-graders from the International School of Beijing (ISB). For three days, the students navigated their way for three days through the awe-inspiring mountains just outside Beijing. They battled thick mist, a thunderstorm, intense inclines, and each-other’s cooking on their way to the final summit at LingShan. Along the way, they learned not only how to hike, but also how to work as a team, accomplishing goals in a totally new environment. JUMP! also had a chance to continue to strengthen our relationship with ISB, one of our longest part-nerships, and run the first of many more IYA programs to come.
In 2013, we put a lot of energy into evolving our favorite experiences, but we’ve also begun adding new experiences to the mix. Mei Lum and Alexan-dra MacLeish designed a brand new, and extremely successful, Adventure Race in Hong Kong for the American International School of Hong Kong. In addition, we ran our first MoGanShan Adventure with CIS HangZhou just outside JUMP! China Hub’s new home city. 2013 was a year of momentum for J!Experiences, setting us up for another year of brand new experiences and refined favorites.

“Before this trip I’d always considered a leader to be the one at the front,
organizing everyone and everything, but this trip helped me to realize that
sometimes the leaders are the ones behind the scenes doing the planning
and encouraging everyone else to step up to their potential.”

J!Development HighlightsGlobal PotentialNumber of youth: 615 (332 males & 283 females) In July and August, Global Potential (GP) & JUMP! organized and held their largest and most successful Youth Conferences to date. These conferences brought together inspir-ing and motivated youth leaders from Paris, New York, Boston, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic (DR), and Haiti in order to facilitate a powerful exchange of different ideas and cultures. These open space youth conferences equipped youth from developing areas with the confidence, connections, and ideas to tackle the problems they are facing as individuals and as communities. This year, for the second time, Social Entrepreneurship project prizes were awarded to the most-voted-upon project proposed by all partici-pants.
Canada-Mathare Education Trust Number of youth: 20 (10 males & 10 females)In February, JUMP! facilitated a workshop in partnership with CMETrust in the Mathare slum of Nairobi. The workshop was designed to introduce the JUMP! Foundation meth-odology. The main theme was centred around how the participants, as young leaders, can identify challenges, brainstorm ideas & implement solutions that the community agrees on.
BEAMNumber of youth: 40 (20 males & 20 females)JUMP! ran 2 workshops for Bridging Education and Mobility (BEAM) in 2013, the first in April and the second in October. The workshops were run with BEAM’s Project GGJJ, which uses a model similar to the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization to pair ‘littles’ with ‘bigs’ who act as mentors. The aim of the workshops was to facilitate a space where bigs and littles could engage in fun team-building activities together and have an opportunity to bond and build confidence while having fun.
Ikamva LabantuNumber of youth: 25 (15 males & 10 females)In June and July, JUMP! facilitated a series of three leadership workshops with the youth of Ikamva Labantu’s Rainbow Community Center in Gugulethu Township, South Africa. The workshops were centered around themes of personal leadership and facilitation. The group first reflected on who they are as individuals and as members of their community, then chose activities that represented them and their community and finally designed workshops on these activities for a group of international visitors who are part of the Young President’s Organization.

“An important aspect of the JUMP! Inspire Leadership Program is an appreciation for all different
types of leaders. Leaders are sometimes people who feel confident speaking in front of large
groups of people, but that is only one type of leader. During the training we learnt about other
types of leaders who are just as important. Leaders can also be the quiet ones, who remain in
the background until they feel that they have something of importance to say. Leaders can be
the calm ones who help to make sure others finish their school projects on time.”
