Community is more than just a group of people living in the same place—it’s a network of support, a foundation of shared experiences, and a force that can transform lives. At the Jean Baker Foundation, we recognize that true progress happens when we lift each other up. That’s why our Community Support Programs focus on mentorship, networking opportunities, and resources that foster unity and resilience among the people of Trelawny, Jamaica.
The Heart of Our Community Support
Imagine a world where everyone had access to guidance, encouragement, and opportunity. A place where young people could find mentors who believed in them, where families could connect with the resources they need to thrive, and where no one felt alone in their struggles.
This vision drives our community programs. We provide avenues for mentorship, leadership development, and support networks that equip individuals with the tools to navigate life’s challenges.
Mentorship: A Guiding Hand
A few words of encouragement from the right person can change the course of someone’s life. Our mentorship programs connect young people with experienced professionals, educators, and community leaders who can offer career guidance, life skills, and personal development advice. Whether it’s a student looking for direction, a young entrepreneur seeking business insights, or someone in need of motivation—mentorship has the power to open doors.
Networking for Growth and Opportunities
Opportunity is often found through connections. Our networking initiatives bring together local businesses, educators, and aspiring professionals to create relationships that lead to new opportunities. Whether it’s finding a job, securing funding for a business idea, or simply gaining knowledge from like-minded individuals, we believe that stronger connections make for stronger communities.
Building Resilience Through Support
Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes, people just need someone to turn to. Our community outreach extends to providing essential resources, hosting workshops, and creating safe spaces where individuals and families can share their challenges and find solutions together. From youth empowerment programs to career-building initiatives, we are here to help people build confidence, independence, and resilience.
How You Can Be a Part of the Change

- Become a mentor – Share your knowledge and experience with someone who could benefit from it.
