Our Founding Story
In 2019, our Founder, Ryan Jaskot, was Chairman of the Young Professionals Board at Covenant House Atlanta, a shelter for young adults experiencing homelessness. While mentoring several of the men there, he realized that most of them worked nine-to-five jobs in the least desirable roles, and still struggled to afford a meal. They were stuck in a cycle of poverty with little hope of ever breaking free.
These young men had passions and a desire to grow, but no one to coach them or show them how to take real steps toward their goals. What they needed was a community willing to invest in them and their futures.
A community that cares.
That's where Pour Over Love comes in.

Community
Is the #1 thing people desire most, but research shows that it’s what people have least.
Being a part of community makes us feel as though we are a part of something greater than ourselves.
