At Jumping Dreams DD, we believe every child deserves access to a safe place to learn, move, grow, and dream, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.

As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, we are inviting local businesses and community partners to invest in the youth and families we serve throughout Charlotte and surrounding communities.

For more than eight years, Jumping Dreams has used movement, mentorship, leadership development, and meaningful opportunities to empower young people. What began with Double Dutch has grown into an organization serving youth through three core programs:

Competitive Double Dutch gives young athletes the opportunity to build confidence, discipline, teamwork, and healthy habits while representing Charlotte in local and national competitions.

Jumping Dreams Academy provides affordable afterschool and out-of-school care where children receive homework support, healthy snacks, STEM and enrichment activities, structured recreation, and a safe environment while their families work.

Dreamers to Leaders prepares teens and young adults for their futures through paid internships, youth leadership opportunities, professional development, training, transportation support, and college exposure.

This school year, we need community partners who believe in what is possible when young people are given access and opportunity. Donations and sponsorships will help provide transportation and travel, uniforms and equipment, coaching and training, childcare scholarships, healthy snacks, enrichment supplies, paid youth internships, college exposure, and leadership development.

Whether your give $5, $10 , $100, $500, $1,000, provides an in-kind donation, or chooses to sponsor an entire program need, your investment helps remove a barrier for a young person or working family.

Your business isn't simply making a donation. You're investing in a healthier future for a child, and helping build a stronger Charlotte community.

We would be honored to have you become a Jumping Dreams Community Partner for the 2026–2027 school year. Together, we can make sure finances never determine how far a child is allowed to dream.

Thank you for considering an investment in Jumping Dreams and the young people we serve.
