Our Calendar!
Our 2024-2026 JumpstART Conversations calendar features the GEM artwork from the first three years of our contest! You can view the calendar here.
Calendars have been mailed to schools and organizations that work with youth and we have some leftover for purchase on a first-come first-served basis. You can request one by emailing us at gemprojectdayton@gmail.com.
Thank you to all the GEM artists and our many community supporters!
Please join us next year for our 2025-26 GEM Art Contest for Suicide Prevention.
We are also looking for GEM team members from different schools in the Dayton area. If you are interested in joining our team, please reach out to us at gemprojectdayton@gmail.com. We would LOVE to have you.
Note: If you are an artist, you probably don't want to join our team because you would not be eligible to enter our contest.
