Project snapshot

Jump for Joy’s Our Youth Short-Film Festival project addresses the critical need for young people to express themselves, advocate for their beliefs, and confront their challenges head-on. The film festival will fulfill this need by tapping into the aspirations and creative talents of our young population. This initiative provides them with an avenue to share their unique perspectives and foster a better understanding among their peers and the broader community. Beyond artistic expression, the project acts as a catalyst for community engagement and cohesion.
