Jamestown Stories
Presenting Loco Bloco's Carnaval 2020 Theme: From Roots to Reincarnation
Through our artistic expression, we will create:
An embodiment of the ancestral traditions & wisdom living in the land & carried in our spirit
An act of community healing from our ancestral trauma as our scars evolve into adornments of empowerment
A reclaiming of our strength, power & voice as we transform our vision for our collective future

Join The Mission and Support Jamestown
This past year has been groundbreaking for Jamestown, we hope you have enjoyed following the journey and growth on our Futuros Sin Fronteras blog. We have completed the merger with Loco Bloco, expanded our programming to serve nearly 4,000 youth and their families, and purchased space in the building we occupy at the Historic Centro Social Obrero. Our organization is stronger and more sustainable, poised to continue providing opportunity to kids, and helping them succeed.
Jamestown: Reclaiming Space and Culture in The Mission
