Jeff Nelson is the Chicago-based educator who took over the role of executive director of OneGoal after realizing he wanted to change the public school system but was not called to be a teacher. OneGoal identifies annual classrooms of twenty-five high-risk students who wouldn't otherwise have a shot at college, and prepares them for an academic collegiate career using a three-part equation: academic catch-up, college prep, and noncognitive academic skills.
