We had an amazing time in the studio with CBS 17’s Greg Funderburg for his show Rated G! 🎬

Justin Pelham and Darius Carr had the opportunity to share the story behind JUMP Academy, our mission, and how we’re using music, mentorship, and creativity to help young people discover their purpose and build their future.

The episode won’t air until mid-August, but we couldn’t wait to share how much fun we had filming. We’re grateful for the opportunity to shine a light on the incredible young people, families, and supporters who make JUMP Academy possible.

Stay tuned for the official air date. We can’t wait for you to see it! A big thank you to Joyful Jess for being our support and photographer for the day
