About Us
[Mission Image]
In 1989, High Jump started with a single, mighty mission: to increase access to education for ambitious Chicago middle school students with limited economic means.
Today, that mission is stronger than ever. Through our tuition-free programs, we invest in Chicago’s middle schoolers by connecting them with the people and resources they need to build confidence, take risks, and achieve their dreams.
