In this episode of Agents of Nonprofit, I sit down with Khalid Cannon to discuss how sports and community mentorship can help children of incarcerated parents break free from societal stigma. Through long-term mentorship, structured funding, and a business-minded approach, the organization ensures kids have the opportunity to thrive beyond their circumstances.

Topics We Cover:

  • Khalid Cannon’s personal journey from Alabama to Yale and how his upbringing influenced his passion for giving back
  • The impact of incarceration stigma on children and how it affects their opportunities and future prospects
  • How Put Me In provides financial support to young athletes to cover sports-related expenses
  • The importance of long-term mentorship in shaping the success of children from underserved communities
  • The emotional and measurable success stories that highlight the deep impact of the program
