Building Communities and Changing Lives

JYD Project is excited to announce our partnership with Village of Hope Las Vegas.  For the past 15 years, the P.R.O.J.E.C.T has been assisting schools, teachers, students and families with our vision of “Building Communities & Changing Lives”. While we began providing career & education services to youth, we have more recently broadened our programming to include neighborhood stabilization, financial literacy and health and fitness.  No matter the area of service, our goal remains the same: to help people and change lives.

The JYD Project can’t do this alone.  We rely on volunteers and partnerships with individuals, private employers, public agencies, community and faith based groups.  We truly believe “it takes a village to help a child”.

Our non- profit was established when our founder Jerome Williams relocated his family to the State of Nevada in 2007.  After a nine year NBA career, Jerome was able to continue  his focus of giving back to the community that supported him during his playing days.  In  1997 Jerome’s brother Johnnie Williams established P.S.B 501c3 with a purpose of aiding  communities in need with the help of NBA Players.  Now, the JYD Project is a  continuation  of this much needed community aid.
