Operation Jump Start (OJS) is a nonprofit organization based in Long Beach, California, focused on helping low-resourced, first-generation students access, persist in, and graduate from four-year colleges. Since 1994, the group has provided a combination of mentoring, academic support, and educational case-management through its College Access Program, which engages youth beginning in eighth grade and continues through 10th grade, with enhanced College Success services for older students and college entrants to address transition, applications, readiness, and ongoing individualized support until degree completion. The organization reports strong outcomes, including on-time high school graduation, significant mentoring engagement, high college enrollment after high school, and a substantial share of students earning bachelor’s degrees within six years, supported by scholarships and direct assistance. Serving hundreds of youth annually, OJS aims to expand access to higher education for first-generation, under-resourced students by pairing academic resources with mentoring and exposure to broader opportunities.
