LOS ANGELES, Calif.—At 81 years old, former NFL legend and Hollywood actor Jim Brown is still giving his time and energy to help urban communities and collaborating with those who have similar goals.

In 1988, Brown founded the Amer-I-Can Foundation for Social Change, Inc. and created a 60-hour life management and self-improvement training program, particularly targeted towards at-risk youth. The program has changed lives in prisons, juvenile probation camps, middle schools, high schools, colleges, businesses and other organizations.
