Small Actions.
Big Impact.
You don't have to wait to make a difference.
For 10 years, Project I Am has shown what can happen when people choose not to wait to make a difference. What began with 88 Blessing Bags assembled by 15 young people has grown into a global movement that has impacted more than 250,000 people in need.
Now, you can be part of what comes next. Whether you give $10, donate supplies, volunteer your time, or help us engage more young people in service, there is a way for everyone to make an impact.
