Keith Lewis Jr. was born and raised in Atlanta, Ga. and is the Executive Director/Founder of Jump Right Association, Inc. He is also a motivational speaker who loves to speak to anyone looking to be motivated. His purpose behind starting this 501(c)3 non-profit is to help ex-offenders make their transition into society by providing them with job skills, life skills and the resources needed to succeed.

     By staying active in church Keith Lewis has kept himself humble and grounded as he pursues a more righteous life for himself and his community. Mr. Lewis attends Flipper Temple A.M.E. church where he has served in various capacities ranging from serving on the J.C. Williams Usher Board, Men’s Day Co-Chairperson, to keeping the grounds manicured through his landscaping service. Mr. Lewis is a devout Christian and believes that “with God all things are possible”.

     Mr. Lewis has experienced his share of shortcomings in life which allows him the passion and fuel needed to run this marathon of a race to help save our youth and reduce recidivism in our communities. Mr. Lewis believes that while you can’t save everyone there are a solid number of men and women who have made mistakes but are ready to become productive and law abiding citizens. Without allowing a person the proper chance to rehabilitate themselves and not giving them an opportunity to grow as a person and a provider for their family you open the door for them to recidivate; Keith Lewis and Jump Right Association, Inc. are trying to help these cast of forgotten people.

      Mr. Keith Lewis is married to Tinesha Lewis and the father of two children Se’Miyah Lewis and Ke’Andre Lewis.
