Congratulations to the 2022-2023 UJUMP graduates! On May 5th, 2023, Cheese Johnson and the UJUMP team celebrated the successes of the kids with an event to remember. Gary Houston (brother of Whitney Houston) gave an empowering performance the kids (and parents) will never forget.

As we wrap up this season, we are looking ahead to 2023-2024 and the next round of crossroads kids. Please consider getting involved so together we can make sure all kids have a chance to succeed!
