  • Operation Jack’s Village (OJV) is Oldsmar’s hyperlocal, community anchored support system for youth and families. We strengthen the everyday environments where young people grow by aligning city partners, OSSA members, schools, and volunteers around a shared developmental framework.

    We exist to ensure Oldsmar youth have what they need to survive with stability, thrive through belonging, and drive toward purpose and opportunity — all within the Navigate Adolescence, Unlock Potential architecture.

#NotOneMore

Operation Jack’s Village was founded to change the mindset of helplessness and set a hometown standard of #OldsmarStrong. For how communities can Navigate Adolescence and Unlock Potential. Through research, history, and 21st century solutions, we’ve evolved into a movement committed to lasting change for Oldsmar.

Action over Awareness
Real Impact.

Operation Jack’s Village (OJV) was created in response to the loss of a child and the collective recognition that the Village lacked the systems, coordination, and adult infrastructure required to prevent such tragedies. Our charter establishes the Village’s formal commitment to build, sustain, and evaluate a comprehensive, relational, and accountable framework for protecting every child.

The OJV Charter is both a memorial and a promise: the Village will not be blindsided again.

  1. Investigate and name the failures that allowed preventable harm to occur.

  2. To build the systems that ensure such failures cannot repeat.

  3. To establish a public decision point where the Village must determine whether it has the will and capacity to continue this work beyond 2027.
