FUNDING:
Funding is generously provided by private foundations, individual donors
and the Jump for a Just World equestrian initiative.
Our new Donors with a Difference program gives members the opportunity
to work side by side with our student volunteers and partner organizations
in Asia, Africa and Central America. Program members play an active role
in elaborating JustWorld´s strategic planning and in determining how to
empower young people in their search for social justice.
