Jahkil Jackson is a 2-time best-selling author, youth-philanthropist, social-entrepreneur, student-athlete, influencer and founder of Project I Am, a nonprofit organization he created when he was 8 years old to build awareness to homelessness. Now 15, Jahkil has already earned a reputation for himself as one of the world’s most influential changemakers by President Barack Obama. Jahkil has made it his mission to assist those in need who are residing on the street and in shelters while engaging other youth to become change agents.

Jahkil has set and surpassed many goals. Distributing Blessing Bags to the homeless has been one of his biggest achievements thus far. In just a few years, Jahkil has led Project I Am’s efforts in raising $400,000 for the homeless and has impacted over 100,000 men, women and children globally. Jahkil has recruited over 1,000 youth changemakers to distribute to those in need in Chicago, LA, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and more. Support has also been sent to orphans in Mbabane, Swaziland and Ghana as well as natural disaster victims in Guatemala, the Bahamas, Florida, Houston and Puerto Rico.

Jahkil was tapped to participate in Disney’s Be Inspired Black History Campaign, Lebron James’ #AlwaysBelieve 2018 campaign, Nike’s Until We All Win & You Can’t Stop Our Voice campaigns and is now a Marvel Super Hero, CNN Hero Young Wonder and Tedx Talk speaker. His philanthropy has also led to partnerships with the NBA, Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation, Invisalign, Crate & Barrel and The Gap and was named one of BET’s 15 under 15.
