==Early life==
Born in Jerome, Idaho to a nursing home employee and a truck driver, Hammond is the seventh of eight children. Two years after Hammond's father abandoned the family, Hammond's mother had a breakdown and found herself unable to take care of the children, and they were sent as wards of the court to the Mooseheart Child City & School, a group home in Mooseheart, Illinois.〔〔 During the 14 happy years he spent at the home before achieving the age of majority, he enjoyed his experiences on the group home's playground, and in his junior year at Ripon College first took part in helping to build a community playground, assisting the mother of a friend.〔〔
The dyslexic Hammond did not complete college, but relocated to Chicago as part of an Urban Studies Fellowship through the Associated Colleges of the Midwest.〔 There, he studied under Dr. John Kretzmann, director of the Assets Based Community Development Institute in the Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The institute, which focuses on mobilizing struggling communities using resources already at hand, would later serve as a community-build model for KaBOOM! After seeing the influence of the playground he had helped build on its community,〔 Hammond also participated in the Columbus, Ohio, and Chicago engagements of City Year, an AmeriCorps program seeking to build democracy through citizen service and social entrepreneurship.
