OUR WHY
At the Youth Career Jumpstart Program, we believe that growth should not be seasonal. We are deeply committed to providing enhanced, year-round learning that meets our students wherever they are—whether in a digital classroom or right here in the heart of Jamaica Queens. In my research of the most successful youth initiatives, a clear pattern emerges: the strongest programs do not rely on classroom instruction alone. Instead, they integrate a holistic ecosystem of support—combining the development of core strengths and executive functioning with self-advocacy, personalized coaching, real-world exposure, and unwavering continued support. This is the gold standard we are bringing to our youth.
A note from our President
As the President of Craig Consultants LLC, I have honed my expertise in personal and professional development, enabling me to guide others on their journey to success. I have faced numerous challenges throughout my own life, and I understand firsthand the feeling of not working to my full potential or purpose. I also know the longing for something more, yet not knowing how to attain it. This program is built on my personal journey of discovering my true purpose and wanting to share that knowledge with the younger generation. Through our comprehensive program, we will provide a nurturing and empowering environment where our youth can explore their passions, develop essential skills, and gain practical knowledge. From career counseling and skill-building workshops to mentorship programs and real-world experience, our goal is to instill confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose in each participant. By leveraging our expertise in teaching, coaching and personal development, we will guide our youth towards meaningful career choices and equip them with the necessary tools to excel in their chosen fields. We are committed to helping them break free from the limitations that may hold them back, enabling them to unleash their full potential and achieve their dreams. I invite you to join us on this transformative journey. Together, let us create a future where our youth can flourish, overcome obstacles, and embrace their true potential. The time is now to empower the next generation, and I am honored to lead the way. Thank you for choosing the Youth Career Jumpstart Program. Get ready to embark on a path of self-discovery, growth, and endless possibilities! Warm regards, Dr. Philip Craig CEO and Founder, Youth Career Jumpstart Program
