Do More for TeenSHARP on Jenny's Birthday!

A fundraiser for: TeenSHARP, Inc.

Organization Mission:

Building a diverse pipeline of leaders, one top college admission at a time

I’m Jenny Jordan.

I’m fundraising for TeenSHARP, Inc..

For my birthday this year, I am asking my friends to donate to TeenSHARP during DoMore24. I recently passed a year of working with these lovely folks, and I couldn't ask for a better place to be. I am continuously inspired by our students, who work tirelessly to achieve the their dreams of attending college.

I invite you to take a look at the video below (tissue warning!), and learn a little about our exceptional Class of 2021, who overcame immense odds during the pandemic to apply, on average, to 12 schools each and are currently attending schools including Princeton, UPenn, MIT, Pomona, Northeastern, Columbia, Howard, University of Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Tufts, and many more.  
About TeenSHARP, Inc.

Founded in 2009, TeenSHARP is a dynamic learning community that empowers Black, Latino, and low-income students across the Delaware Valley. By using top college admissions as a catalyst for change, we are reshaping the landscape of leadership in America.

What started with just 10 students in a church basement has grown into a movement, reaching hundreds of students through our transformative virtual programs. Over the past 16 years, more than 700 TeenSHARP scholars have gained admission to top institutions like Yale, MIT, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, Penn, Vanderbilt, Macalester, Pomona, Northeastern, and Swarthmore.

Our impact goes beyond college acceptance—TeenSHARP alumni graduate on time, with minimal debt. Nearly all complete college within four years (all within six), and on average, they leave with $15,000 or less in student loans—a fraction of the national average.

At TeenSHARP, we don’t just help students get in—we prepare them to lead and thrive.
