Even Off the Pitch, Jackmon Still Assisting Others

Spring break the past two years has been a special time for me. It has been spent with an unparalleled community offering endless amounts of love, hope, and faith. With a group of 14 undergraduate and post-graduate students, who I now call my family, I traveled to the Dominican Republic to serve at-risk orphans with Here For Kids.

Here For Kids is a nonprofit that rescues kids from situations of physical and sexual abuse as well as neglect and homes of violence, and simultaneously rebuilds their confidence and trust through sports and playtime, while rehabilitating them from trauma, and providing them with an education.
