Description
Just Care More is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on showing kids that they are loved and supported. While the love and support of a family member cannot be replaced, the foundation can help at-risk children understand that the world is filled with people that care about them and support them.
Established in 2014, Just Care More’s mission is to use extreme sports, family-entertainment, and other dynamic activities to connect, engage and positively impact underserved children. The foundation’s goal is inspire kids and provide them with hope to pursue their dreams
Jamie Leibert, Just Care More’s founder and leader discusses the creation of Just Care More:
"In my youth, I faced a great deal of adversity. From drug abuse to serving time in prison, I realized that I was missing a critical component of any happy and healthy person. When I was shown that people truly cared about me and wanted me to succeed, I blossomed into a fulfilled and successful person. That is when it hit me; I wanted, more I needed, to help kids like me. That is when I decided to create Just Care More."
Just Care More has a hand-on philosophy and approach. The foundation focuses on reaching the children who need support the most. In each city Just Care More visits, staff will go into group homes such as Boys and Girls Clubs and similar organizations to provide motivation and mentoring. Jamie often shares his story of adversity and speaks with the groups one-on-one to connect with them on a more intimate level.
