Jubilee is a nonprofit organization that provides academic, athletic and social growth to kids and families in need of stability.

With kids staying home all of last year, Jubilee has taken on a much larger role in these kids’ lives.

“It speaks volumes. We want them all to succeed and be successful in the classroom,” Program Director Antonio Davis says. “We try to eliminate excuses. We make sure that they have all the supplies they need.”
