What do we support?
The Jewel Continuum Foundation places all of our efforts on the academic advancement of children in grade school throughout high school. We believe that there are inequities that exist in the educational systems of our communities. We believe that the most effective way to eliminate those inequities is to close the gaps in secondary and collegiate higher education with programs and funding that directly helps children.
Concentrating academic resources on children in grade school through high school provides the best opportunity to eliminate the disparities in the academic setting. There is empirical evidence that supports the importance of completing secondary and collegiate education as a road to advancement. Statistics prove the value of this extra impetus in making the difference in the success of school aged children since completion of educational studies still continues to be the most important factor in the success of the children.

Three Strategic Goals

2. Provide youth participants with mentors who are excellent role models for them to emulate.
3. Provide education, motivation, and skill-building in the areas of responsibility, relationships, and goal setting.
All three of these goals are necessary to provide the optimum conditions for our young men and women to excel in society. We will provide our funding sources to the areas that will have the most impact in the lives of the children.
