Jo-Jikum
Jo-Jikum means "your home" or "your place" in Marshallese. It stands for "Jodrikdrik in Jipan̄ Ene Eo Ekutok Maroro" which loosely translates to "Youth helping the land that is green and lush."We are a Marshall Islands based nonprofit dedicated to empowering Marshallese youth to turn the tides, become change-makers and creators, and contribute to the survival of their lush, thriving islands.About Us
Our Mission:
Our mission is to support the next generation of Marshallese to navigate and develop solutions to environmental issues impacting their islands such as pollution, climate change, and nuclear legacies.
Our Vision:
A wave of empowered Marshallese youth who rise to meet the challenges of a climate threatened future as leaders, change makers, and creators.
Our Motto:
"L̗iok tūt bok"
"Liok tūt bok" is a Marshallese proverb. From the collection Jabōnkōnaan in M̗ajel̗ compiled by Stone, Kowata and Joash: "Pandanus roots grab deep through sand to hold firmly...The understanding is that once the roots are penetrated deeply into the coral, they will remain for an indefinite time. Traditionally, this term signifies strong footings of a beginning."
We believe that like the roots of the pandanus tree the next generation of Marshallese must also be rooted in the land.
Background: Our Islands and Our Work
The Marshall Islands is an independent atoll nation located in the northern region of Oceania known as Micronesia. Marshallese people have been stewards of our land for thousands of years, surviving waves of colonialism, a legacy of US nuclear testing programs, and now facing the impending threat of climate change.We founded Jo-Jikum as a way to empower our youth to tackle the environmental issues we've inherited.Our organization's main focus are our core programs: the Earth Champions Program, Climate Change Arts Camp, the Digital Storyteller's Collective, and our Jo-Jikum Internship Program. Besides these, our organization has designed and implemented international and national campaigns, provides community wide workshops on topics that range from international meetings on climate change to waste management best practices, as well as curating online social media campaigns to support Marshallese based issues. We also extend our support to outside researchers, academics, and artists interested in learning more about our islands and our community.Youth Programs and Community WorkshopsOnline and Community CampaignsResearch SupportPrograms
