Our Mission
Our mission is to uphold and carry the torch of the Moko Jumbie tradition to all generations that will follow and promote such a culture abroad to many nations as Cultural Ambassadors of the Virgin Islands.
We are dedicated to teaching children and adults and building an all-inclusive community. Yisrael’s New Generation Moko Jumbies is a 501c3 non-profit organization started by the parents of Yisrael’s students. Together we can provide an enriching experience for our local community.
We cannot do this alone; your support is needed. Donations and fundraising are vital for us to provide free classes and travel to sister islands that make up the U.S. Virgin Islands to participate in their Carnival festivities and parade.
