We are excited to welcome two new Jumpstart programs to our expanding community - Jumpstart Clearwater and Jumpstart Newark!

This brings our Jumpstart Training Program count to SIXTEEN, and growing. The majority of Jumpstart programs are close by, however, we have five out of state programs in Oklahoma, Delaware, Indiana, and now Florida and New Jersey.  

Jumpstart Clearwater (FL) graduated its first class in late 2023 and will be hosting a 2nd cohort in the coming months. Jumpstart Newark (NJ) will launch its first class next week!  

Van Robinson with the Newark NJ Property & Development Committee, partnered with the Urban League of Essex County to launch Jumpstart Newark. “We have followed Jumpstart Germantown for a few years now. Dionna Sargent from Jumpstart Wilmington allowed us to audit their training. After that experience we knew Jumpstart was the community development blueprint we needed to follow. It was perfect because of the people involved. The support that we’ve received from the entire Jumpstart family has been unbelievable. We hope that we can be half as impactful in our community as some of our predecessors have been in theirs”.

Sarah Davis, of Davis Property Partners, LLC, leads Jumpstart Clearwater and noted “If it weren’t for Ken open sourcing his program we’d still be on ground zero! We are ready for take-off!!!” 

We can’t wait to see what Sarah and Van do! Welcome to the Jumpstart community!
