About Us
Who We Are
Jumpstart Academy Africa is a youth-focused non-profit organization based in Cameroon, committed to ensuring inclusive and equitable education. We bridge the gap between education and employment by equipping youth with entrepreneurial, leadership, and employability skills, empowering them to break barriers, create opportunities, and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Our Mission
Our mission is to train over 15,000 entrepreneurial leaders by 2050, equipping them with future-ready skills that drive innovation, leadership, and employability. We provide practical training, mentorship, and career guidance, empowering young people to ignite possibilities and lead impactful change in their communities, industries, and beyond.
Our Vision
We envision an Africa led by entrepreneurial leaders, where quality education aligns with market needs. Our goal is to empower youth with leadership, employment, and entrepreneurial skills, fostering civic responsibility, sustainability, and global citizenship. By bridging education and opportunity, youths can reach their potential and contribute meaningfully to society.
About Us
Our Mission
Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man; space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture.
But his operations taken together are so insignificant, a little chipping, baking, patching, and washing, that in an impression so grand as that of the world on the human mind, they do not vary the result.
Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
