Change a Student's Future Every Month
Operation Jump Start (OJS) students work hard every day to gain acceptance to college, earn their degrees, and build a future filled with opportunity. But that journey does not happen in one moment. It takes consistent support, trusted mentors, college access resources, exposure to new experiences, and a community that believes in them… all year long.
OJS 365 is Operation Jump Start’s monthly giving community — a group of generous donors who provide reliable, ongoing support so Long Beach students can thrive 365 days a year.
Monthly support has been proven to be one of the most effective methods to promote change. They allow us to rely on some consistency in individual contributions. As a monthly donor, you ultimately help us save time and money, which gets invested in direct student support instead of pursuing new donors each year.
Why Your Support Matters
- Only 9% of low-income students earn a bachelor’s degree by 25, vs. 77% of high-income students
- A college degree increases upward mobility by 50%+
- Approximately 90% of OJS students graduate from college within 6 years
