Providing Ripples of Hope in Chicago

In 2013, Jahmal Cole began volunteering at the Cook County Jail and realized many of its youngest occupants had never once been out of their neighborhoods.

These experiences would also show communities how service, empathy, and collaboration can make a difference not only on their own block but in the city of Chicago.
