A Message from Alexa, in her own words -
I cannot begin to tell you what an honor and privilege it has been to lead my family's organization for the past few years. I am so deeply grateful to our scholars, donors, and entire JJMSF family! While this is certainly the end of a chapter, it's not the end of the story. I hope you'll join me in continuing to support and celebrate our scholars. Thank you so much for helping us keep my grandmother's legacy alive, as we continue to support her neighbors.
Stay tuned for updates on the future of the organization in the coming weeks.

In December 2021, The Mountain School awarded JJMSF a Garden Hill Grant to continue our work! We couldn’t be more grateful to receive it. The Garden Hill Fund was established to support alumni doing good in the world. Alexa is a proud member of the class of Fall 2011.
