JASY was formed in October 2006, as a charitable Mission Outreach and Youth Ministry program by the First Presbyterian Church Pittsford NY and St. Patrick's Foundation, Kingston, Jamaica for the benefit of underprivileged children in Kingston, Jamaica.

Youth Ministry volunteers from First Presbyterian Church, Pittsford NY and St. John Fisher College, Rochester, NY plan and coordinate annual JASY Sports Training Camp activities under the guidance of professionally trained and certified volunteer Sports Program Directors. 

Week-long Sports Training camps were held for 62 Jamaican Children in 2007 with the number of children served in 2008 increasing to 108.  In 2009 the program was expanded to two weeks.  A total of 198 children attended JASY Camp or Junior JASY Camp in 2009. Over 750 children have participated in JASY camp Programmes to date. Additional programs are planned for 2013 and 2014.

In 2009 JASY received recognition and endorsement from the Office of the Prime Minister as a key program supporting the efforts of the Jamaica National Transformation Programme.

JASY is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Charitable Organization. JASY is a registered Charitable Organization with the Office of NY Attorney General.  Registration # 40-66-09.
