ORGANIZATION: Operation Jump Start

Operation Jump Start (OJS) is a nonprofit organization that has served the Long Beach community for 25 years. Our mission is to help low resourced, high potential first-generation students get in, stay in, and graduate from a four-year college. We do this by providing academic support, mentoring, and exposure to a broader world. Our mentors are a vital component of our program by enriching the lives of our deserving 8th-10th grade youth through first-time experiences beyond the students' reach.

Mentors are college graduates over the age of 18 who are available to spend 4-6 hours a month with their matched student and are willing to commit 1-3 years to guide and coach their mentee. This commitment can be satisfied by attending OJS events, making phone calls, and/or communicating via text and email. This mentorship provides our young people with guidance and assistance to help them achieve their educational, social and personal goals.
