Over the years, IDEALS saw that young people today are not being taught the critical life skills that previous generations had been taught. Through its multiple programs, IDEALS has served markets that include: Georgia middle school students, Georgia Department of Justice Juvenile (DJJ) high school students, 100 Black Men of Atlanta / Georgia Chapters Mentee students, and North Central Chapter of Boys and Girls Club.
IDEALS is a 501-c-3 Educational Foundation established in 1991. IDEALS leads, equips, and encourages young people in developing the critical life and leadership skills needed to live productive and meaningful lives.
There are 1,000+ student athletes who have participated in our signature IDEALS Leadership classes over the years. IDEALS has now developed coaching resources to continue to mentor and coach them as they progress through the different phases and responsibilities in their personal and
professional lives.
Jack’s passion for working with youth was revealed in 1993 when he formed the IDEALS Foundation Inc. IDEALS works with high school students in the area of leadership, role modeling and life/soft skills training.
