Founded in 1996 by legendary New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter and his father, Dr. Charles Jeter, our mission is to inspire youth to choose healthy, productive paths free of drugs and alcohol. With over $48 million invested into transformative programs across New York, West Michigan, and South Florida, we’ve seen firsthand the power of positive influence. Join us in continuing this legacy of leadership, academic excellence, and positive change. Your generous contribution can be the catalyst that empowers young lives to achieve greatness. Donate today and help us turn dreams into reality!

The following strategies are incorporated into each of Turn 2's initiatives:

• Guide children each day toward healthy lifestyles while reinforcing the avoidance of drugs and alcohol.
• Fund organizations that share Turn 2's fundamental values.
• Host special events as a platform for Derek to personally deliver his message to today's youth.
• Empower youth to use their voices and actions to create positive social change in communities across the country.
• Motivate young people to excel academically and serve as role models to their peers.
