Since our incorporation in February 2012, Jana Marie Foundation has devoted its energy to opening minds and saving lives through educational programming and community mobilization to empower young people in the Centre County region.

Jana Marie Foundation harnesses the power of creative expression and dialogue to spark conversations, build connections, and promote mental well-being among young people and their communities.

We achieve our mission by focusing on three areas of growth:

1. Opportunities for creative self-expression and personal development for young people.

2. Educational opportunities for parents and caregivers. Well-informed parents and caregivers are the first line of defense. Therefore, it’s crucial that caregivers have access to relevant resources and information.

3. Community engagement. Jana Marie Foundation provides opportunities for open and honest dialogue about topics of vital social concern so that we can continue to grow and develop as a community.
