Our Projects
The JPS Foundation Power Up Community Action
The JPS Foundation (JPSF), in partnership with USAID/FHI360 and the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ), in 2022, offered training to young men and women from vulnerable communities through the Fresh Start Jamaica program. The implementation of the program was led by the JPS Community Renewal and JPSF teams, with input from support agencies and institutions. The 5-month Program included vocational training, life skills training, mentorship and internship, over the period June to November 2022.
