What JUMP does
JUMP (사단법인 점프) is a South Korean nonprofit social venture founded in 2011 by seven Harvard Kennedy School graduates with the mission of eliminating educational inequality. The organization operates a proprietary Triangular Mentoring Model (삼각멘토링 모델) that connects three participant cohorts — disadvantaged teenagers, university student volunteers serving as year-long tutors, and professional adult mentors from industry — into a continuous virtuous cycle of mutual growth and motivation. As of December 2025, JUMP has cumulatively served 31,393 teenagers, mobilized 8,718 university student volunteers, partnered with 1,555 learning centers, and engaged 746 professional mentors, delivering an estimated 5.24 million hours of educational and physical activity.
JUMP's product portfolio includes the flagship H-Jump School (with Hyundai Motor Group since 2013), the Future Sharing School (university partnerships), Incheon Airport Value Jump, Rainbow Stepping Stone Mentoring (with Kolon, for multicultural youth), and the Microsoft-powered Digital Empowerment Project. The organization operates a multi-tiered delivery model: domestic direct delivery via learning center network placements, university partnerships for volunteer recruitment, corporate co-branded programs for funding and scale, and government co-funding via Seoul Metropolitan Government and provincial bodies. Geographic operations span South Korea plus Vietnam, Philippines, Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Panama.
The business model is nonprofit and donation-driven: revenue comes from corporate sponsorships (Hyundai, Microsoft, Air Liquide, Kolon, Smilegate, Hanwha Life, KakaoBank, KOICA, etc.), government grants, individual monthly pledge donations (KRW 10,000-100,000+ tiers), and consulting/research services. JUMP obtained social enterprise certification in November 2021, enabling mission-aligned revenue generation. Programs are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. Internal technology includes the Dotpro online platform for volunteer activity management, progress tracking, and longitudinal growth archiving for 800+ annual volunteers.

- Per Scholas: US nonprofit providing tuition-free technology training and career support to adults from underserved communities — comparable workforce-equity mission and corporate-funder ecosystem.
