Across the country, amazing kids are proving you don’t have to be a grown-up to step up. Care package-creators. Face-shield makers. Even art auctioneers. They’re what we like to call Pint-Sized Heroes. Together, we can all honor these amazing kids and the great work they do. We’re inspired to step up and make an impact in the communities we serve. We hope you’ll be inspired to contribute in ways big, small, or pint-sized, too.

Who is #JahkilJackson? The Amazing Philanthropist and CEO

 
Founder of Project I Am was created by Jahkil Naeem Jackson when he was 8 years old. Jahkil, now 12, has a heartfelt desire to help those in need giving them #BlessingsBags filled with essential items that the homeless need. Jahkil has now been recognized by the elite The Power of Children award.
 

When Jahkil was just 5 years old, he helped his aunt distribute food to individuals dealing with homelessness, and from then on, he knew that he wanted to do more to make a difference. So at age 8, Jahkil started Project I Am to help the homeless in Chicago, and he continues to have a heartfelt desire to help those in need.

 
ProjectIAM teams up with #Gatorade & #ChicagoBulls creating 5,000 Blessing Bags for those in need! Blessings will spread from Chicago and Atlanta all the way to Florida!
