Mission 
The James R. Jordan Foundation provides a pathway out of poverty by empowering youth to achieve their full potential and by leveling the playing field so they can become successful human beings and productive contributors to society. We do this by creating networks of support for families and communities, motivating youth, and ensuring high-quality academic opportunities for youth in under-served communities. The James R. Jordan Foundation is dedicated to supporting students and families through access to knowledge and by exposing them to resources that contribute to their life success.
Vision 
Every hard-working child in the Chicagoland area will reach their full potential and compete in the field of their choice, anywhere in the world, regardless of their socio-economic status.
What We Do 
The James R. Jordan Foundation (JRJF) believes that all children deserve equal opportunity and access to a quality education. We aim to level the academic playing field to ensure that hard-working students have the opportunity to attain a higher education regardless of socio-economic status.

We provide support and mentorship systems to fill for key gaps in S.T.E.A.M., Parental Support, Literacy, and Scholarship Assistance.
