Although these young men may face significant challenges in their homes, neighborhoods or schools.

Programming builds academic and athletic skills and supports each young man as he builds a vision for his future. In all that we do, we promote life skills of leadership, determination and grit. When it came time to relocate their operation, our team took the time to truly understand how their space would function and align with their business goals. We focused on how their students, employees, mentors, teachers, clients, and visitors needed to interact between public and private spaces in order for all to have a positive and successful experience. NOU required different space types to support their mission, such as educational and training spaces, office and support space, a gym/weight room and a social area that not only supports the organization for fundraising purposes, but serves as an area for the students to develop social and leadership schools, outside school and sports. Outcomes of this fantastic organization include: 100% of participants graduate high school on time 100% accepted into 2- or 4- year colleges 95% matriculate to college, others join the military or start a trade. We love showing off our space to clients and guest, even holding industry specific events, the space just works. The neighborhood planning is perfect for the way we manage our teams.
