About
At JBS, we believe in the transformative power of community. Rooted in empathy and driven by a passion for positive change, we are dedicated to empowering individuals on their unique journeys towards success.
Our Story
At Journey Before Success (JBS), our story is one of resilience, compassion, and the unwavering belief in the transformative power of community. Established in response to the challenges that emerged in the wake of the tumultuous year 2020, JBS was founded in the vibrant borough of Hackney, London, with a commitment to support individuals and families from Global Majority communities.
In a world marked by uncertainties, JBS emerged as a beacon of hope. Witnessing the profound impact of global challenges, particularly on the lives of those from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic groups, we knew that action was essential. The narrative of JBS is rooted in a deep understanding of the unique struggles faced by our community members.
Our Vision
At Journey Before Success (JBS), our vision is to create a world where every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances, has the power and support needed to transform their lives and pave the way for empowered futures. We envision a community that transcends challenges, celebrates diversity, and champions resilience.
