WHAT WE DO The just keep livin Foundation implements after school fitness and wellness programs in 40 inner city high schools. Our prescription is to prevent so we don’t have to cure later in life. We serve over 3000 students in 14 cities, providing them with a safe place to enhance their lives with fitness coaches and health experts.

OUR PROGRAMS In keeping with the mindset and goals of j.k. livin, the foundation has set up fitness and wellness programs in TITLE 1 HIGH SCHOOLS where students might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn about the body and mind connection. The just keep livin program is powerful medicine that holds the capacity to change the course of a life. We operate in Title 1 schools, which have a large concentration of at-risk and low-income students. Dropout rates at these high schools are often as high as 50%, while 83% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch based on their families’ incomes and Federal Poverty Guidelines. Rates of child abuse and neglect are 5 times higher for children in families at this socio-economic level.

Though the students we work with come from highly disadvantaged backgrounds, science now affirms that you can use your knowledge and understanding to change the way you harness the power of your mind to create wellness, joy, and connection in your life.

The skills that students develop in jkl help them to create a better tomorrow and thrive throughout the rest of their lives. We cultivate a sense of community and provide a safe place to grow, combating isolation. Studies show that social interactions and emotional support help to decrease stress, anxiety and depression, while increasing calmness and happiness.

OUR IMPACT We serve over 3000 students in 40 program sites in 14 cities throughout the United States. Our prescription is to prevent so we don’t have to cure later in life. Our program meets kids at a critical time and empowers them to make healthy choices for a better future; or, as JKL student, Yordis, puts it, “This is a program where kids can come to get away from their problems and have a chance in life that many do not get.” It’s powerful medicine that holds the capacity to change the course of a life.
