Mission
Create safe spaces for kids to move and play
Build confidence through positive mentorship
Strengthen neighborhoods through community service
We help youth grow through free sports events, mentorship, and community service—open to every child, no barriers.
Built for Every Kid. Powered by the Community.
Jaguars Community Organization started in Lynnwood with a simple idea from founder Aaron MacCoy:
kids need more safe places to play, more mentors to look up to, and more chances to feel like they belong.
What began as a few pickup games has grown into:
Regular free sports and recreation events
Youth mentorship and leadership opportunities
Community service projects that give kids pride in their neighborhood
Today, JCO continues to be:
Grassroots-led
Community-funded
Supported by partners like Angels for Angels, LNC, and MacCoy Home Solutions.
Our vision is a thriving, inclusive community where every child belongs.

Servant leadership
Consistency and care
A shared belief that every kid matters
