On August 8th, Jelly Roll helped break ground on Nashville’s new Youth Campus for Empowerment.

“I celebrated my 14th, 15th, and 16th birthdays there,” Jelly Roll said at the ceremony. “The only reason I wasn’t there at 17 was because I was charged as an adult.”

“Get rid of stuff that makes you feel like a caged animal,” he continued. “Make these kids feel loved and give them a chance in life. A lot of these kids are victims of their circumstances. This is a really great chance to change things.”
