Jordan's Way Foundation's main focus is designed to connect with our teens and young adults and help them live up to their full potential. We want them to develop purpose-filled lives by discovering who they truly are. By learning that their life experiences, their greatest pains, and biggest weaknesses can be their greatest strengths.

Jordan's Way Foundation was established in 2017 by Jordan's father, Carl Ferrante Gennaro. Carl's vision is to help teens, like his son, develop a purpose-focused mindset early in life. The main focus of the Foundation will be to support the Jordan's Way Academy; to create a unique learning experience for teens and young adults. The central idea of "turning pain into purpose" acknowledges the fact that everyone experiences pain. But, instead of that pain being a weight, it can be a tool to help us live up to who we were always meant to be.
No one should have to walk through their pain alone. We want every teenager to know that they are not alone, no matter how isolated or insecure they may feel. That's why Jordan's Way Foundation connects young people with "Purpose Partners"- others who have walked through similar situations . As our namesake did, we build relationships based on appreciating and caring for each other, encouraging others towards positive change. |

Through the Jordan's Way Academy 4-step program, teens will discover the amazing potential that is within each of them. We all have our own unique strengths that were created in us for a purpose. We want to give each person the tools to work through their pain and discover their greatest strengths. It is only when we embrace vulnerability and face our pain, that we discover who we're truly meant to be and how to use the unique gifts each of us brings to the world.
Our goal through Jordan's Way Academy is to inspire: schools, communities, and churches to come together in support of today's youth. Together, we will teach teens to understand and grow through their pains and life experiences. Using these experiences as strengths to help others, and themselves, will help them reach their full potential. |
Our "Purpose Partners" program assigns each teen with an accountability partner to be with them through the whole journey. We'll guide each person to discovering the innate strengths that are a part of the amazing person they were created to be. They will learn to develop and understand healthy communication skills and use these techniques on their unique path. We will be there to help them set and maintain the goals they need to carry out their purpose in life.
