Jubilee YEar

Founded in 1991 as the Episcopal Urban Intern Program (EUIP), Jubilee Year has been responding to the needs of our community, serving the greater Los Angeles for over 25 years. In that time, our corps has touched thousands of lives through service, community building, and changemaking in partnership with more than 50 of L.A.'s most innovative and effective community-minded organizations. Young adults from all over the world come to learn, live, and serve. Over 250 young adults have exemplified this commitment to growth and justice as corps members with Jubilee Year. Through our continued dedication to community and to service, we're raising up a new generation of changemakers for the world. Our JYLA Food Justice Corps will serve the most vulnerable members of our society through site placements at food security and urban agriculture agencies, expanding the accessibility of fresh produce essential for community health and well-being. 

Produce Dehydration Program

The Produce Dehydration Program is a food justice initiative that began in March 2020 at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Hollywood, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. What started as a small distribution of 20 bags of fresh produce to out-of-work parishioners quickly grew into a large-scale operation that now provides 4–5 tons of produce weekly to over 600 families in Hollywood and Northeast Los Angeles.

Jubilee Jump

In 2015, Jubilee launched rope jumping programs at three different low-income neighborhoods around Los Angeles: Hollywood, Inglewood and Highland Park. We expanded to cover 8 locations—all of which formed part of a strong and talented jump rope league. Youth participants in Jubilee Jump learned basic rope jumping skills, increased their understanding of the sport of competitive rope jumping, engaged in regular fitness activities, received mentoring from coaches and adult volunteers, and developed life and leadership skills that they will be able to translate into other aspects of life.
