Our Vision is to be a leader in our community that respects and reflects diverse voices and ideas through shared, creative experiences and responsible land stewardship practices.

The staff and board are committed to advancing social justice and cultural equity. JSP is a space where everyone should feel safe and welcome, and a space to play, create, grow, and heal together.
