🌍 Project I Am: Powered by Youth, Fueled by Purpose
Project I Am is building a movement rooted in youth leadership, compassion, and service. What started as one young changemaker’s mission to support people experiencing homelessness has grown into a global force for good.
Through the distribution of Blessing Bags and youth-led volunteer initiatives, Project I Am has raised nearly $1 million and impacted over 250,000 people in need worldwide, from shelters in Chicago to disaster zones in the Bahamas and community centers in Ghana.
At the same time, we’re equipping thousands of young people with the tools, confidence, and opportunities to lead service projects in their own communities. Our work not only brings attention to the growing global homelessness crisis, it empowers the next generation to believe they can make a difference, no matter their age.
Together, we’re proving that youth aren’t just the future — they’re the right now.
