WHAT IS OPERATION JACK’S VILLAGE ALL ABOUT?
The OJV Suicide and Early Adolescence Escalation Model for Risk Assessment
Understanding the root causes in this hidden cascade **
Leading cause of death (ages 13–14)
Annual increase trend: NIH data show youth suicide rates rising by about 8% per year since 2008.
School-year stress cycles: Suicides peak during the school year (September–May) and on Mondays, linking risk to academic stress
School shootings: The Parkland High School shooting killed 17 and injured 18
Younger-age violence: A jury awarded $10 million to a teacher shot by a 6‑year‑old
While AI-enhanced learning platforms and chat bots promise efficiency, they risk amplifying cognitive overload and eroding relational safety – human connection - if not developmentally grounded, it can compound existing crash risks.
Welcome to Jack’s Village!
Toward a Village Reality of #NotOneMore
Operation Jack’s Village was founded to change the mindset of helplessness and set a hometown standard of #OldsmarStrong. For how communities can Navigate Adolescence and Unlock Potential. Through research, history, and 21st century solutions, we’ve evolved into a movement committed to lasting change.
We activate the #BringThemHome vision by ensuring youth support systems are:
Visible
Responsive
Developmentally focused
Our initiatives - Survive, Thrive, and Soar - focus on sustaining:
Process: Navigate IRL - Developmentally timed scaffolding
Progress: MyTrac - Measurable growth through Lean Six Sigma-aligned projects, programs, and portfolios
Every youth deserves access to meaningful opportunities, sacred timing, and systems built to see them. This is how we build a village reality and one that ensures Not One More is lost to systemic gaps.
Key Focus Areas of Finding Balance:
Now let’s work on CORRECTIVE ACTION!
Our Focus
#BringThemHome/#NotOneMore/#OldsmarStrong
Who We Are: A purpose-driven coalition of parents, educators, practitioners, and partners committed to building sacred infrastructure that protects youth and reforms systems.
Why We Are Here: Because current environments are failing to scaffold adolescence. We are here to educate and demonstrate the transformation from developmentally inappropriate into healthy ecosystems.
What We Believe In: That every child deserves to be seen, scaffolded, and supported by humans. That remembrance can become reform. That developmental timing matters.
What We Do: We design Village Hubs, activate Navigate IRL pathways, and deploy MyTrac to make youth growth visible, responsive, and accountable.
Where We Are Going: Toward measurable, developmentally grounded reform, anchored in developmental timing, relational trust, and community activation.
How We Get There: Through coalition unity, mapped local spaces, interdisciplinary scaffolding, and a six-phase activation cycle: Envision, Examine, Explore, Empower, Execute, Ensure.
-
Survive: Be seen before crisis escalates
Place: Village Hubs - Safe, nurturing environments
-
Thrive: Grow in emotionally intelligent, scaffolded environments
Process: Navigate IRL - Developmentally timed scaffolding
-
Soar: Build agency and unlock their full potential
Progress: MyTrac - Measurable growth through Lean Six Sigma-aligned projects, programs, and portfolios
ENVISION – EXAMINE – EXPLORE – EMPOWER – EXECUTE – ENSURE
oUR systems-level Adaptive logic not reactive effort
The pressing issues of student violence, mass casualty events, and student suicide illustrate the critical flaws within a reactive systems. Excessive spending on reactive measures fails to address the root of these problems, leading to devastating consequences. By adopting a proactive approach that emphasizes prevention, support, and community building, we can not only enhance safety and well-being but also foster an environment conducive to navigating adolescence and unlocking potential in all students.
