SOARING SAMARITANS YOUTH MOVEMENT

Jordyn & Taylor, as seasoned philanthropists, brought their passion for activism and their love of soccer together to form a non-profit humanitarian charity called Soaring Samaritans Youth Movement in 2014. Since then, they’ve donated thousands of soccer and sports balls to kids around the world for the purpose of upward change. Their movement also provides for youth education programs. The goal of their movement is to hand-deliver each donated soccer and sport ball so that they can connect with the kids they serve. This gives youth living in difficult situations a healthy outlet for positive play and inspiration. Having been brought pure fulfillment by the sport of soccer, Jordyn and Taylor’s main focus has been to hand-deliver soccer balls to children living in an orphanage, school, or underfunded youth program that often have never received any aid at all. Their movement is always open to donate resources that include any type of sport ball or necessary supplies.

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR YOUTH "BizSense 4 KIDS":  Created by Jordyn Jackson & Taylor Jackson

SOAR Jewels Story


Jordyn helped create a curriculum for a program called BizSense 4 KIDS. It equips children with a road map of resources and ideas on how to team up or work independently to support their passions by developing an entrepreneurial mindset to create social impact in their communities and beyond. BizSense 4 Kids created the next generation of innovators and changemakers to be prepared for the future. The sister team has personally hand delivered thousands of soccer balls around the world.

Their most impactful donations include special unpoppable balls that are virtually indestructible to children in poorly funded education programs, soccer centers in low income communities, and foster homes.  Kids playing on rougher terrain in remote communities either have no ball, or are stuck with a torn up soccer ball that has scrapes, cuts and punctures because they are not playing on manicured grass or turf. Jordyn and Taylor love One World Play Project’s indestructible balls for their significant value in serving children for a much longer playing period. This allows impact on children to last longer. As a result of their successful relationship with the company, Jordyn and Taylor serve as the Vice Presidents of One World Play Project’s program to “Make Life More PlayFull” everywhere.

KIDS INSPIRING KIDS
(“KIK” PROGRAM)

Soaring Samaritans Youth Movement inspires kids through creativity and action. People who donate balls to Soaring Samaritans Youth Movement can create a Fortune Ball for kids. The Fortune Balls are filled with messages of inspiration, hope, and positivity. Upon their deliveries, the sisters educate children on the history behind these balls and the purpose of paying it forward to make their mark in the world with a program they have written called “KIK,” also known as Kids Inspiring Kids. Through their visits, the sisters work to teach children that beyond receiving a free ball, recipients can find opportunities to pay it forward. The mission is for children to learn how their little acts of kindness continue rolling forward to make a bigger mark in the world.

UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS

As a humanitarian organization, we believe that service to others transcends state lines, national boundaries, and even university rivalries. Jordyn and Taylor, who are from Los Angeles, have a deep passion for supporting academic and athletic programs in their hometown. Their blended family reflects this diverse support: with 8 Bruins (UCLA) and 5 Trojans (USC) in their immediate family, they hold a deep respect and love for all Los Angeles college programs.

Jordyn and Taylor dedicate their time to educational and sports programs that benefit youth living in poverty. They connect with organizations that share their positive goals and work together to make an impact.

Their efforts have made a global difference. They were the first outsiders to visit certain remote islands to donate to under-resourced soccer centers. Additionally, they have been pioneers in supporting university soccer programs, including organizing the first-ever gala for UCLA’s soccer program. The One Goal Gala they created raised $7 million, enabling the construction of Wallis Annenberg Stadium, which was completed in Fall 2017.

SOAR Jewels

As the cost to transport soccer balls began to build, Jordyn and Taylor needed a better way to help fund their deliveries. They created a handmade jewelry line called SOAR Jewels and their high quality jewelry line began selling quickly in local boutique stores who share a passion for the work the sister team is doing.

SOAR Jewels were so successful that the sisters needed a new way to meet the growing demand. Jordyn decided to start an afterschool club called Bead 4 Balls to help students express their creativity and engage in advocacy efforts. This club was unique because it allowed students to make jewelry while earning community service hours required for graduation. It was the first time a student had created a community service club at her middle school that the school agreed to recognize for service hours.

When Jordyn launched Bead 4 Balls during the Covid pandemic, only three members signed up to participate via Zoom. Despite this initial challenge, she grew the club throughout high school to over 100 members. Jordyn has since partnered with Girls Who Code and her school’s Diversity Leadership Club to provide even more students with opportunities to get involved in jewelry making.

SOAR Jewels are created by a sister team and local children who are dedicated to providing soccer balls and essential supplies to those in need. Please consider making a donation to support their efforts. Your contribution will help fund youth education, hand-delivered soccer balls, transportation, equipment, and other expenses related to reaching children and families in need: Soaring Samaritans Youth Movement
