This Summer’s Mission: 250 Journals, 250 Children

“Help Us Launch What Your Kids Helped Inspire”

At JMM Dance Co., our mission has always been to foster self-development through movement. And now, we’re excited to launch a new initiative that brings us one step closer to our ultimate vision: placing Social-Emotional Dance Journals in every school across California.

For Summer 2025, we’re starting local—right here in San Benito County—by providing 250 Daily Reflection Journals to children attending JMM Dance Co. Summer Camps and students in the Extended School Year SPED Department. These journals offer kids a guided space to reflect, express, and build emotional resilience through movement.

But our mission doesn’t stop there.

We’re reaching out to rural schools across the state of California, many of which have limited access to mental health and SEL resources. These are schools that often cannot afford the kind of emotional support tools our journal provides—and this is where your donation is crucial.

Through our one-for-one model, every journal purchased allows us to donate one to a child who needs it most. One journal = one opportunity for a child to feel seen, supported, and empowered.

This campaign is more than a summer effort—it’s a movement.

A movement to reach under-resourced communities.

A movement to make mental wellness a priority in every classroom.

A movement to ensure no child is left behind simply because of where they live or what resources their school has.

You can help us get there.

By supporting this campaign, you’re not just helping children in San Benito County—you’re helping us build a foundation to impact thousands more across California, especially in areas that are too often overlooked.

A Day of Giving for 250 Kids—and Thousands More to Come

JMM Dance Co. was born from one girl’s dream to unite people through the power of dance—with a deep focus on healing and self-development.

Veronica Vasquez began her journey at just 16 years old as a dance and fitness instructor in San Jose, California. Over the years, she witnessed how movement could transform lives—especially for children navigating hardship, trauma, or simply searching for connection.

In 2009, she opened her first studio at age 19, and although it began as a for-profit, her heart was always focused on service. In 2013, she made the courageous decision to pause, realign, and prepare for something deeper.

That moment came full circle when she became a mother to a child with autism. From that personal journey emerged a renewed passion—to create inclusive, emotionally safe spaces where every child could thrive through dance.

And from that purpose, JMM Dance Co. was born.

Now, we invite you to join this mission and help us reach more children—starting with 250 this summer, and growing into every corner of California.

One journal. One child. One powerful step toward healing.
