eDUCATING THE YOUTH agAINST VIOLENT CRIME
Since the tragic stabbing of Jermaine Goupall in August 2017, those who loved him have been committed to transforming pain into purpose.
The JFJ Foundation was born from this grief—driven by a powerful mission: to educate, empower, and protect young people before violence touches their lives.
We work directly in schools, youth hubs, and communities—meeting the next generation where they are, face to face, heart to heart. By tackling the root causes of youth violence and teaching the harsh realities of knife crime, we’re not just raising awareness—we're breaking cycles.
​
At JFJ, we believe real change happens on the ground, in the conversations that shape futures, and in the moments that shift mindsets. Every life reached is a life redirected—and a step toward a safer tomorrow.
