Project JumpStart, Inc.
Share
Baltimore nonprofit organization providing real construction training that leads to real opportunity.
Clyde Parker showed up. Did the work. And now he's a resident inspector with DFI!
This is what it looks like when opportunity meets someone who's ready for it. PJSI gave Clyde the resources, the training, and a real shot. He took care of the rest and now, in addition to working fulltime, supports Project JumpStart with every alumni event, mentoring opportunity, taking every chance to give back. He is a shining start of JumpStart and we are grateful for him and his efforts everyday.
Thanks, Clyde! We're proud of you.
We highlight our students and alumni all the time on our instagram! Are you following us there, too? https://www.instagram.com/projectjumpstarttraining

Two more JumpStart graduates are on the job.
Justin Reid (Class 81) and Demarri Matthews (Class 83) were both recently placed at Scaffold Resource and the person who made it happen is one of our own.
Antoine is a JumpStart graduate turned instructor, now with a successful career at Scaffold Resource. When he sees a student who’s ready, he moves. That’s exactly what happened here.
In his words:
“When these students come into class, we don’t know what to expect because everyone comes from different places in their journey. Some need the right moment or the right words to show that they are ready for what’s next. I knew these guys were ready. I jumped at the chance to have them on my team. The opportunity is here—and they are NEXT.”
This is what the pipeline looks like when it’s working. A graduate comes back, becomes an instructor, and opens the door for the next class.
Congratulations, Justin and Demarri.
