JUMP Into Positivity
Empowering Youth Through Double Dutch and Community Connection
Fostering Growth and Community
Just Unleashing More Positivity—J.U.M.P Inc is a non-profit youth organization in Michigan City dedicated to uplifting young people through active engagement and meaningful connection. Since launching in 2022, our mission has centered on reviving the sport of Double Dutch and providing safe, enriching alternatives to the digital distractions and challenges many children face today. Through free, year-round sessions at the Michigan City YMCA, we create an inclusive, supportive environment where every child is encouraged to move, grow, and discover their potential. Our dedicated team works closely with youth to help them build confidence, develop positive habits, and strengthen their social skills. With every session and community event, we reinforce a culture of empowerment that inspires children to thrive both on and off the ropes.
Discover, Engage and Inspire
Our programming introduces children ages five and up to the fundamentals of Double Dutch while incorporating a holistic approach to youth development. Each J.U.M.P session blends physical activity with mentoring, guidance, positive conflict resolution, and social skill-building, ensuring every participant feels valued and supported. Beyond our regular sessions, we host and participate in community events, provide transportation to youth in need, and offer fully funded educational trips that broaden horizons and make new experiences accessible to all. We also host the annual J.U.M.P Fest Double Dutch Competition, giving children a platform to showcase their talent and teamwork.
