Your Community Needs You. Long Beach Youth Need Your Support.
Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Volunteers are a BIG DEAL! For over 25 years Operation Jump Start (OJS) has relied on volunteers to make a considerable impact in the lives of Long Beach youth.
But we get it. Volunteering takes time. And so we value your time tremendously.
If you’re looking for an organization where it can be best and most effectively utilized, we believe you’ve found it!
What about COVID-19?
We believe COVID doesn’t mean quit. We now have opportunities to volunteer remotely and virtually.
