...igniting powerful change in the lives of urban youth
Summer JAM 2014
Fortress Youth Development Center is a nonprofit organization which focuses on the academic, emotional, and spiritual growth of at-risk children and youth in Fort Worth, Texas. Relationally-based, academically-driven and Christ-centered, our volunteers and staff strive to form authentic relationships with children and youth, equipping them with life skills using the best resources available.
Summer JAM exists to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment where children and youth are encouraged to learn and grow, experience new things, and develop a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. Children and youth enrolled receive breakfast and lunch, daily academic enrichment, Bible stories, hobby clubs, weekly field trips, and a week-long trip to Camp of the Hills. Operating for 9 weeks of the summer on Mondays through Thursdays, Summer JAM is overseen by Fortress staff and facilitated by college interns and visiting youth groups.
