About Us
JumpStudy.org began as a simple idea to help solve an all-too common problem: many migrant and refugee youth feel stuck, unable to progress their education or begin a career. While Thailand has a wealth of education resources, the information is scattered across dozens of Facebook pages, Signal and WhatsApp groups, and is not easily searchable. Posts often exclude important information that allow youth to plan around a busy work schedule and personal commitments.
Ko Myo teamed up with Peter in 2025 to develop a web app that solves this problem by creating a centralized, user-friendly platform to search, filter, and compare vocational training programs, language courses, and skill development opportunities. It is being developed as an open source project and is currently self-funded. Our approach is to work with organizations that support youth to make the discovery process more accessible, transparent, and user-centered.

We're currently looking to partner with organizations and individuals who share our mission of supporting migrant and refugee youth education in Thailand. If you have feedback about the app, or would like to collaborate, please don't hesitate to send us an email.
