Message from the CEO :
It's going to take a Village!

Sincerely,
Michelle Gabriel, President

Today we face a new public health concern; studies show a soaring rate of mental health disorders among our adolescents/teens is at an all-time high. The number of mass shootings, sexual violence, and crime has increased all over the world. Emergency room visits by children and adolescents rose sharply for anxiety, mood disorders, and self-harm. According to statistics for young people ages 10 to 24, suicide rates leaped by nearly 60 percent after the Pandemic, according to the CDC. These statistics are alarming! The fact is our kids are not safe in the world anymore and we can no longer remain silent! The JGF Non for Profit Organization Team is responding to this crisis. It's going to take a Village to make a change.

Join our Team and make an impact today.
