Turn 2 Foundation

During #SocialWellnessMonth, we're reminded that growth happens when youth step outside their comfort zones, build meaningful connections & discover their passions. Whether through sports, academics, or community service, #Turn2 is committed to helping the next generation thrive.

Congratulations to Kalamazoo Jeter’s Leader graduate Miley, who is headed to Kalamazoo College this fall! Her hard work, leadership, and dedication have led her to this exciting milestone, and we're proud to celebrate her as she begins this next adventure. #Turn2 #JetersLeaders

Happy #FourthofJuly! 🎆

Wishing all the best to Spartan-bound Kalamazoo Jeter’s Leader graduate Daviya as she heads to Michigan State University this fall! Her dedication and hard work have truly paid off, and we're thrilled to see her take on all that lies ahead. #Turn2 #JetersLeaders

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Turn 2! Today, we celebrate the fathers, father figures, and mentors who lead with love, encouragement, and strength. Thank you for the lasting impact you make in the lives of young people and the example you set for future generations. 💙

By learning, listening, and supporting one another, we can help create stronger communities and a more inclusive future.

Today we honor #Juneteenth: a day that marks the end of slavery in the U.S. & honors the resilience & achievements of Black Americans. More than a historical milestone, Juneteenth is a call to reflect on the ongoing journey toward equality, opportunity, and justice for all.

An unforgettable evening at the Radisson celebrating the graduating Kalamazoo #JetersLeaders Class of 2026 and officially welcoming the Class of 2030! #Turn2 is so proud of all our Leaders, and we look forward to seeing how our newest class will grow, lead, and make an impact.

This #PrideMonth, we celebrate the importance of creating communities where every young person feels welcomed, respected, and encouraged to embrace who they are. At #Turn2, we believe leadership starts with authenticity, kindness, and making space for every voice to be heard.

From Michigan to Indiana! Congrats to KZ Jeter’s Leader graduate Gabriel on heading to Purdue University this fall. His dedication throughout his #JetersLeaders journey has built a strong foundation as he pursues engineering. Looking forward to seeing all he accomplishes. #Turn2

Throughout the day, they built confidence & teamwork through drills, games, and plenty of fun. Thank you to our KZ #JetersLeaders for cheering everyone on! We’re so grateful to MLB for partnering with #Turn2 once again & helping inspire the next generation to dream big! 📸: @MLB
