The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation Next Level Youth Football Camp is for boys and girls, ages 7- 17 and will be held on June 20 and June 21, at Piscataway High School, 100 Behmer Road in Piscataway, NJ. The camp consists of two fun, safe and engaging days of learning from prominent NFL players and outstanding high school coaches. The program is designed to give each participant a solid foundation in football fundamentals on and off the field. Participants are grouped based on age and skill level. Parents and guardians of children ages 7-13 are required to be onsite during the camp program.
NFL player participants supporting the camp include, Jenkins (Philadelphia Eagles), Kyle Wilson (New York Jets), Stephen Miller (Detroit Lions), and Dwayne Gratz (Jacksonville Jaguars), who all played on Piscataway High School’s winning football teams; Larry Fitzgerald (Cardinals), Isa Abdul-Quddus (DetroitLions), Brian Robiskie (Atlanta Falcons), Jahri Evans (New Orleans Saints) and Leigh Torrence (free agent).“We are proud to once again offer a great camp experience to our youth who, along with knowledge about sports performance, will also learn how self-discipline, character and academics are key to life performance." ~ Malcolm Jenkins, TMJF Founder and Chairman. 
Through Malcolm’s own commitment, coupled with that of the many individuals and entities who have supported the efforts of the Foundation, more than $100,000.00 have been awarded in scholarships, program support and support to families.
“Our youth today should have every opportunity available to them to excel and achieve”, says Jenkins. “We are delighted to be a part of the bridge that every youth should have available to them to cross over and meet opportunity,” he added in a videotaped address to the students. While Malcolm is now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles and living in that area, he wanted to demonstrate his ongoing commitment to New Orleans youth by being there via technology. “I am extremely proud of the students who have completed our joint program and I am particularly proud for our graduating seniors who are the 2014 Malcolm Jenkins scholarship winners,” says Jenkins. TMJF Board Officer, Loyce Pierce Wright, presented the scholarships.
