JUBILEE PARK & COMMUNITY CENTER CORPORATION

Outreach: The Community Outreach Team administers financial assistance though the Seeds of Hope fund. In 2023 that fund supported 73 households, comprised of 174 total individuals, with $51,038 in assistance to help with rent and utilities while they faced a financial hardship. Outreach also oversees Jubilee's food security work, provides essential resource referral for residents, and implements programming to engage senior citizens in both educational and social activities to avoid isolation. In 2023, 331 seniors were served by Jubilee's programming. Jubilee enhances programming through strategic partnerships in order to provide the highest quality services for our community. Jubilee was proud to partner with the Dallas Regional Chamber and their 2022 Leadership Dallas Class to create a client-choice food pantry, which opened in February of 2023. Throughout the year, the pantry served more than double its intended target, serving 341 households, providing 2,018 total shopping visits, and distributing more than 170,000 pounds of food to area residents.

Education: Jubilee's holistic Out-of-School-Time (OST) Program offers the only free, certified high-quality afterschool and summer programs in Southeast Dallas. For area students in grades K-12, Jubilee if often the only resource available for additional academic support, enrichment, skill building, and exposure to extra-curricular activities. 2023 saw Jubilee's OST Program continue its robust numbers post pandemic, serving 329 children and providing more than 51,998 hours of academic and enrichment activities. Teen programming continues to serve 6-12 grade students with a focus on mentorship, leadership development, college and career readiness, and service learning. Jubilee is the only program in the area, and possibly the city, to supplement our OST work by providing our Specialized Student Support (S3) program. S3 serves students with learning differences such as dyslexia and ADHD. S3 combines diagnostic tools, trained interventionists, one-one-one and small group support, as well as parent education to maximize each student's success.
