JADA House International makes an impact!

JADA House serves over 350 community members annually through our core programs:

  • Kinship Program: This program supports grandparents who are raising their grandchildren, many of whom face hardships like addiction, incarceration, and violence.

  • Seniors Going Strong: We offer workshops, activities, and nutritional support that keep seniors active, connected, and mentally healthy.

  • JADA GEMS: (Guiding Empowering Minds for Success) This is our afterschool workforce program, preparing youth with the skills they need for their future careers.

JADA House has hosted over 100 workshops and events in the ten years since its founding in 2014.

JADA House has engaged an average of 25 seniors per Seniors Going Strong workshop.

JADA House has supported 16 new families through the Kinship Program pilot.

JADA House has served 850 meals to community members, nourishing bodies and spirits.

JADA House International needs your support to grow

JADA House has a new facility on Second Avenue that will serve as the central hub for all JADA House programs. This will allow us to expand our services and reach even more families.

To fully utilize this space, we need funding for essential renovations, including new flooring, kitchen upgrades, security enhancements, and ADA-compliant restrooms. These renovations will improve accessibility, safety, and overall experience for everyone we serve.

With your support for these renovations, we project:

  • A 30% increase in program capacity, allowing us to welcome even more community members of all ages.

  • Enhanced, supportive spaces specifically designed for both youth and elders.

JADA House is about family, connection, and resilience—and we’re just getting started. Donate today!
