Our Current Projects
Jazzy Jam Glam Prom Giveaway
A Safe Space. A Bold Vision. A Brighter Future.
The Jazzy Jam Glam Prom Giveaway, led by Jacqueline Snell and Jazzy Jam for Empowerment, provides prom attire and support to students in need. Serving over 900 families—including those impacted by wildfires—the initiative offers more than clothes: it restores dignity, joy, and hope during challenging times.
The WaterCooler Room℠
A Safe Space. A Bold Vision. A Brighter Future
The Watercooler Room is more than a program—it’s a movement of compassion and care for our youth. Now located at The Paseo, and created by Jazzy Jam for Empowerment with PUSD, LACOE, and regional schools, it brings social-emotional wellness and restorative enrichment into children’s daily lives.
