We're proud to share some exciting news: this past month, the Jump Finance team won 1st prize at the National Peace Corps Association’s Innovation for Good pitch competition!

I grew up in a house full of Peace Corps stories. My dad served in The Gambia from 1967-1969, and as soon as I graduated college, I joined as a Youth Development volunteer in Peru.

I started Jump Finance after seeing my most talented former students struggle with financial hardships that stopped them along their paths to becoming professionals. Our $2,500 prize brings us closer to our goal of launching a pilot program this year in The Gambia.

We have more exciting news to come! For now, learn more about our product, sign up to get occasional updates on our progress, or get in touch on social media.
