Jump Up Program

Empowering children as participants in bringing about

a thriving, sustainable and just human presence on earth.

I co-founded the the Jump Up program as a social enterprise in 2010.

Providing a comprehensive and engaging toolkit of materials for primary years children, their educators and parents.  The program empowers children’s innate capacity to experience their interconnection with the world.  Eight program topics support each child to name and take action on the things that concern them while sowing seeds of understanding that they are part of an ever changing human story.

The program is listed on the creative commons with an attribution license. All Workbooks, games and video references are highly flexible, and can be used at home, in class settings or as components of school camps or gatherings.

The most powerful results have been achieved when children use the program materials as part of a semester long student lead inquiry project.

I invite you to engage your imagination for using the Jump Up materials within your particular setting and to adapt the materials for your needs.
