Operation Jump Start Mission Statement: We help low-income, high-potential first generation students get in, stay in, and graduate from a four-year college. We do this by providing academic support, mentoring, and exposure to a broader world. Operation Jump Start is a mentoring program working in collaboration with the Long Beach Unified School District. Our mission is to impact socially and economically disadvantaged youth through guidance, coaching, and leadership to stay in school, to broaden their life experiences, and to become our leaders of tomorrow. Our objective is to encourage all of our students to complete their high school education, enroll in and graduate from college.
