Jump rope is portable, inexpensive and can be done virtually anywhere – making it an incredibly equitable activity. We believe anyone should have access to the joy of jumping rope and be able to learn new skills. All of our programs offer a no questions asked scholarship policy and we partner with organizations who offer the same. EIN 92-2784717
