About Us

Jubilee was founded in 1999 in response to the community's overwhelming need for a program that would target at-risk youth, leading them away from lives of crime and drugs, and, instead, offer them programs and services to help develop their academic and social skills.  Every day Jubilee programs and volunteers are keeping young people off the streets, leading them into futures filled with hopes and goals. They are loved, tutored, mentored, challenged, and motivated as they strive to overcome many obstacles.

The Jubilee Concept is unique.  It addresses every need a child has and offers programs to fill those needs.  It teaches children to do for themselves and, in doing so, they come away feeling more fortunate, as they rise above difficult odds and even more impossible circumstances and temptations.  They come away winners, and nothing can take that away from them.  As the children win, so our community wins.  Jubilee's presence in this community has made a remarkable difference as it strikes out against the destruction of our children.  As Jubilee supports and teaches families to become self-sufficient, reliable, successful members of society, everyone wins!

Our Mission

We believe that every child possesses special talents to share with others, and that many children, especially those in the inner-city of Lynchburg, have not received all of the tools they need to develop those special talents.  Our mission is to help these at-risk children and their families become more self-sufficient and reach higher levels of personal achievement.
