CAMPUS MOMENTUM
Go For Yours
Jackson State University
In 2019, three Jackson State University students joined our very first Dream Experience cohort. One of them, Stanley Harris, left with a vision: to bring Go For Yours back to his campus.
Seven years and nine JSU participants later, that vision is real. 2025 fellow Jalin Cole founded Go For Yours JSU, an official student organization giving more students access to mentorship, leadership development, and career preparation.
"It's more than a foundation. It's a family."
Stanley Harris, Jackson State University alum and inaugural Dream Experience participant

Made possible by people who believe in the next generation of leaders
OUR STORY
It started with a book, and a swimmer on Chicago's South Side.
Founder Erika R. McCall left her corporate job to write Go for Yours, a book about turning obstacles into stepping stones and pursuing your dreams. On the book tour, she met a young swimmer with Olympic dreams who couldn’t afford the training she needed. Go for Yours was built to close that access gap.
