The JUMP Program Goes To The Movies!

The Montgomery County Youth Service Bureau, JUMP Program, spent their monthly group activity at the AMC theater in Crawfordsville. As part of the JUMP program, which is like a Big Brother/Big Sister program, they provide one free monthly group activity for the mentors and mentees. For March, that activity was a choice of watching Sing 2 or Spiderman – No way home! This is a great activity for the group and something that kids always like to do!

The JUMP Program provides one on one time with adult volunteers and kids from the community in order to mentor them, provide support and to have fun! The adult volunteers meet with the kids on a regular basis and just give the kids another caring adult they can turn to and look up to.

Of course, becoming a mentor requires an adult to volunteer for the program and commit to spending time with a youth that has similar interests as them. It is not a difficult process to become a volunteer just some background checks, an interview and a training. Once that is complete, the fun begins.

There are 10 kids on the waiting list who really want to be matched with a mentor. If you think you have the time and the interest in being a friend and role model for a child, please contact Jill Hampton. The phone number is 362-0694 ext. 103 or email [email protected].
