The Jordan Porco Foundation Has Concluded Its Operations

After 15 years of service, the Jordan Porco Foundation has officially closed and is no longer operating as a 501(c)(3) organization. This transition reflects the Foundation’s commitment to ensuring that Jordan’s legacy and life-saving work continue to grow and reach future generations.

For more than a decade, the Jordan Porco Foundation worked to advance youth mental health and suicide prevention through education, peer support, and community engagement. We are deeply grateful to the students, ambassadors, families, volunteers, partners, board members, and donors who helped make that impact possible.

Our Programs Continue

We are proud to share that the Foundation’s signature programs continue through the Connecticut Children’s Youth Suicide Prevention Center, including:

• Fresh Check Day
• Check In
• For What’s Next
• Nine Out of Ten Ambassador Program

These programs remain available to schools, colleges, and communities and will continue to expand their reach and impact.

What began as one family’s response to tragedy grew into a movement that reached hundreds of thousands of students and inspired countless conversations about mental health, connection, and help-seeking. While the Jordan Porco Foundation has completed its mission as an independent organization, Jordan’s legacy lives on through the students, educators, communities, and programs that continue this vital work.

With gratitude,
