Go Fish NFP is a nonprofit organization started by two University of Missouri (Mizzou) college students, a brother and sister team, Jerome and Kimani Jones, with the hopes of making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. Through community service and involvement, they aim to bring hope to the hopeless, impact the lives of victims of abuse and domestic violence, and promote positive behaviors in youth and young adults through education and mentor-ship programming. Our mission is to serve humanity with a purpose. We can make a difference in the world, one act of kindness at a time. Click here to visit the Go Fish NFP Facebook Page


Options for Youth’s mission is to expand opportunities for under served youth by developing programs that build upon the strengths and maximize the potential of each young person. Through intense education, ongoing individual support, and employment in community outreach, plus a long-term commitment to each young person, OFY is changing life trajectories of at-risk youth. With more than 25 years of service to Chicago’s youth, OFY strives to improve life options for teen mothers who have a baby before the age of 18, and teenage boys who live and go to school in under served and dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago. OFY helps young people take initial steps to break the cycle of poverty in their lives and communities. Click here to visit the Options For Youth Website
