J’s for A’s
This program is a two-fold initiative addressing the local school-to-prison pipeline and community empowerment. Community members donate $5 or more to raise the prize money incentives for our youth to strive for academic excellence. This builds a sense of ownership in the direction and destiny of our community!
We know that education is the most secure pathway to escaping poverty and the host of systemic issues that accompany poverty. School is challenging, and the challenges can seem pointless without tangible rewards for your effort. This program is to combat the suspension rates, dropout rates, and juvenile arrests in our community by incentivizing our youth to give their very best efforts in school.

We started with our first school, Tulsa's McLain High School, and are looking to expand quickly! There are ten spots for Straight A winners to each receive a $300 gift card and ten spots for Most Improved Grades to receive a $150 gift card. We are asking community members to donate $5 or more to invest in the future of our kids. 60 people + $5 each = $300. Let's support our youth! Please donate!
The celebration will be held on December 22, 2024, from 5-8pm. Location TBA. Come out and honor the hard work of the young students, sign up to get involved with our organization, and eat some good food together as a family.
