About
The Marcus Jackson Project (The MJP) was founded in 2019 by the mother of Marcus Jackson; a 23 year old man who was murdered in his home on March 19th 2019. Our mission at The Marcus Jackson Project is to increase the awareness of violence epidemic while offering support to individuals, families, and communities, that have been impacted by violence.
The goal of the Marcus Jackson Project is to create platforms for people to heal from the traumatic residue of community and domestic violence. Through this work, we believe that we have the power to alter the trajectory of the violence epidemic in small/rural communities that lack the much needed resources that are often found in larger cities.
The Marcus Jackson Project is dedicated to offering programs and peace initiatives that promote alternatives to violence.
Our programs use evidence based modalities that focus on individuals and families who have been impacted by violence.
· Addressing the root causes of violence
· Building relationships with high-risk individuals
· Offering support to individuals, families, and communities in the aftermath of violent acts
· Bridging relationships between community members and law enforcement
· Mediating disputes
· Promoting non-violent alternatives to reduce violence, particularly gun violence

Transforming Lives
The Marcus Jackson Project is dedicated to making the families and the communities we serve a priority. Our programs provide support to help people and communities that have been impacted by violence in various ways.
Community Outreach
Helping Those Who Need Us Most
We understand that recovery from acts of violence can be a difficult, that's why we meet people where they are to help them recover.
Our nontraditional methods allow us to see people in their communities, schools, or homes. We understand that the journey of healing from traumatic events will look different for everyone. This is why our community outreach efforts offer a much-desired platform for people who may have lost their voice as a result of trauma.
