The James Morehouse Project (JMP)
works to create positive changes in the El Cerrito High School community through health services, counseling, academic support and the arts. Founded in 1999, the James Morehouse Project assumes youth have the skills, values and commitments to make positive change happen in their own lives and the life of our school community. The James Morehouse Project partners with community and government agencies, local providers and universities.

Director Jenn Rader Retires!
Our beloved JMP director, Jenn Rader, is retiring after 30 years of service to El Cerrito High School. As a classroom teacher in 1998, Jenn saw that students needed support to heal from the challenges they were up against, a place where they could feel safe, seen, and valued. Jenn’s vision came to life through the ECHS Community Project, which grew into the James Morehouse Project (JMP) in 2010.
Donate to the JMP in Jenn's honor. Please join us in honoring Jenn’s legacy at the JMP by helping to sustain and grow Jenn’s vision of beloved community. Your support will allow us to continue serving all students of ECHS, providing free services for young people who may not otherwise receive mental health support.
