Jahkil Jackson is the creator of the famous Project I Am.Through the project，Jahkil looks to raise awareness for reducing homelessness in Chicago and beyond.
Even at a very tender age，his deeds already drew the recognition of former U.S.President Barack Obama in 2017.Jahkil also pushes to motivate and influence fellow kids to get more active and useful in their communities.When he was five years old，Jahkil assisted his aunt in distributing food to the homeless in Chicago.The then little boy was unhappy to find out that people could not afford a home.He was always eager to find out how he could offer help to people.And he would be mad for not being able to give money to anyone asking for help on the streets.He was determined to help the homeless in every way he could.
That strong desire later gave birth to the Project I Am，his nonprofit organization，which focused on helping the homeless people.He founded it at the age of eight，and has since then never looked back on his journey of charity.
Through Project I Am，Jahkil Jackson reaches out to the homeless by distributing "Blessing bags".Provided in the blessing bags are diverse kinds of materials to help the needy，including wipes，hand sanitizers，toothbrushes，toothpaste，socks，bottled water，among other things.
Jahkil Jackson is also one of the key workers in Dream for Kids，another nonprofit organization founded by Tom Tuohy，a social entrepreneur.Jahkil met with Tuohy at a Holiday for Hope event organized by the Dream for Kids.From there，he became the youngest ever student in the YES （Youth Enterprise Solution） program by the Dream For Kids.He has been working with them since then.
