Our History

15 Years and Counting

What would eventually become the organization JAM'NASTICS, Inc. began in 1990 when two young women - a dancer and a gymnast - saw a need in their community for an environment to build self-esteem among youth, especially girls. Together they set out to find a solution.

A Dream Develops

Because they were young women, living on their own, they had limited access to resources. In spite of this they used their own passion and talent in the arts and sports that they loved to create a program that would not only provide quality instruction, but would empower other youth to affect change in their own lives and communities. The mission of JAM'NASTICS has become to use the arts/sports of dance and gymnastics to build community, celebrate diversity, and affect positive change.

Continuing to Build Dreams

JAM'NASTICS promotes its mission from our offices in the Area 4 region of Cambridge, where our diverse staff works with volunteers, youth and families to continue to foster dreams. But it doesn't stop there - it is our goal to provide all children access to the tools they need to make those dreams reality.
