Introduction

Our Model
VietnamJUMP – Join to Understand, Memorize and Pave the way defines the program itself as a journey, of which each participant will embark on a unique venture to realize their potential and become future leaders with a great sense of service. Our goal is to empower students to create positive changes not only by participating in community service projects but also inspiring others to involve in social causes in their own communities. Together, we aim to be a platform for likeminded passionate professionals and students to recognize and pave their own way to help provide brighter future to underprivileged communities in Vietnam.
The focus of our program is on the youth and the education system. Our team deeply believes that the youth has the potential to become the main force driven the development of their local communities, and through our support to improve the local education system, we will empower them with the knowledge and capacity to achieve that.
Sustainability
To ensure the sustainability of our projects, we cooperate with local partners, who would be able to maintain and utilize our resources for beneficiaries.
For our projects, we design our activities to inspire and equip the local youth with necessary skills to design their own social venture with seed-funding and supervision from VietnamJUMP. Through mentoring, we aim to become a platform for local youth to learn and step up to help their own communities and become adults with a great sense of volunteerism and service leadership.
