Mission & Purpose:
NEO empowers youth to make healthy lifestyle choices by creating New Events and Opportunities in a safe environment that encourages youth success and contributes to a healthier community. Our youth center creates a fun, safe and engaging space for youth and young adults between the ages of 11-25 years old to spend their time after school and on weekends.
Success Story:
NEO has provided thousands of local youth with positive, pro-social activities in which to become involved. One recent high school grad shared how NEO has impacted her:
“When I was lost and struggling, NEO was immensely influential and impactful to me. The staff were encouraging, engaging, and pushed me to be my best self. Through NEO, I was given so many opportunities and I learned skills that have given me direction for where I want my life to go and who I want to be.”
How CNL has helped our organization:
CNL has been a great asset to our organization. Over the years, they have helped us to navigate everything from becoming a nonprofit to staff development to finances and human resources. We are so grateful for CNL’s guidance.
How to get involved:
For youth and young adults interested in attending, all they need to do is to show up and fill out a membership application. It is completely free to attend our after school drop-in hours.
