Designed for youth in Chicago\u2019s Greater Grand Crossing\/Woodlawn area, the program provides structured weekend sessions led by trained coaches and mentors who model encouragement, discipline, and teamwork. Participants improve cardiovascular endurance, coordination, agility, and strength through warm-ups, skill progression (turning, footwork, routines), fitness challenges, and group practice that keeps youth engaged and moving.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond physical activity, Jump for Health supports youth development by reinforcing goal-setting, leadership, communication, and healthy decision-making. Short wellness lessons and check-ins are woven into sessions to promote hydration, nutrition basics, stretching\/recovery, and stress management\u2014skills youth can apply at home and in school. The program also creates a positive alternative to idle time by offering consistent supervision and a sense of belonging, helping youth connect to peers and caring adults.<\/p>\n<p>The cycle ends with a youth showcase and celebration where participants demonstrate skills, celebrate growth, and invite families to join in building a healthier community. Overall, Jump for Health aims to reduce sedentary behavior, increase regular physical activity, and empower youth with lifelong habits that support wellness, resilience, and success.<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: 10000<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): 2500<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: 6 Weeks<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Grand Crossing (Chicago, IL.)<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 8-18<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mrs. <br \/>\nContact First Name: Paulette<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Jones<br \/>\nContact Title: Executive Director<br \/>\nContact Phone: 773-552-2393<br \/>\nContact Email: info@jumpingjuniors.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: Beautiful Beginnings to Lasting Legacies Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Jumping Juniors Mailing Address: 6749 S CHAMPLAIN AVE City: Chicago State: Illinois Postal Code: 60637 Main Phone: 773-552-2393 Main Fax: Organization Website: www.jumpingjuniors.org Employer ID Number: 85-3428686 Organization Tax Status: 501 (c) 3 Nonprofit Proposal [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9498"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9498\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9499,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9498\/revisions\/9499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
