ABOUT US
"Finding Ourselves Creates Unlimited Success"
Our Mission:
​
To inspire and equip youth to discover their purpose, strengthen their character, and build healthy, successful lives through wellness and nutrition education, character development, as well as college and career readiness.
Our Vision:
​
To create a community where every young person recognizes their worth, embraces their unique gifts, and develops the skills to thrive in life. Through our core values, we prepare youth to lead with confidence, compassion, and FOCUS.
The FOCUS Youth Network was created to help bridge the gap between education and opportunity; what kids LEARN on a daily basis, and what they can DO. We take kids from learning about music, to experiencing a musical; from learning about geography to taking a camping trip. We believe that providing our youth with extraordinary experiences, will produce extraordinary individuals.
Through a variety of programs, we instill skills and values that last a lifetime. The FOCUS Youth Network helps youth to realize that all they need is a little bit of FOCUS because “Finding Ourselves Creates Unlimited Success”.

PROGRAMS
Our innovative programs give young people a chance to do things they have never done before while learning skills they never learned. Our belief is that the more opportunities you provide to young people to try new things, the more value they can offer to this world through their experiences.
GROUND LEVEL IMPACT COMMUNITY SERVICE
Making a massive impact in the community on the Ground Level.
Ground Level Impact: Community Service Program is a hands-on initiative that empowers youth to make a real difference in their communities. Through organized service projects such as neighborhood clean-ups, food distribution, and supporting local outreach efforts, participants learn the value of service, responsibility, and leadership. The program helps youth build character, develop teamwork skills, and understand the power of giving back while creating visible, positive change at the community level.
CULINARY ARTS
Teaching families to "Live a Lifetime of Wellness"
Our culinary arts programs are hands-on learning experiences that teach youth how to prepare healthy, affordable meals while building real-world life skills. Participants learn kitchen safety, basic cooking techniques, nutrition education, and meal planning in a fun, supportive environment. Beyond cooking, the program promotes confidence, creativity, teamwork, and discipline while empowering youth to make healthier choices and explore potential career pathways in the culinary field.
The FOCUS Center
A safe space for kids to grow both their character and their intellect.
Our new FOCUS Center Youth Lounge gives young people a place where they feel comfortable and safe to be themselves. With comfortable couches, lounge chairs, a big screen TV, gaming chairs, and a HW area, it is the perfect place for young people to grow both their character and their intellect.
NEXT GEN WORKFORCE ACADEMY
Equipping young people with the tangible skills they need to be productive members of their communities.
Our Workforce Academy is designed to provide teens with all the tangible skills they need to be productive leaders in their communities. Resume building, interviewing, job etiquette, and finally job placement are the key components in our Workforce Academy program.
ADVENTURE TRIPS
Providing our youth with memories that last a lifetime.
FOCUS Adventure Trips provide youth with exciting, hands-on outdoor experiences like rock climbing, hiking, and team-based challenges that push them beyond their comfort zones. These trips are designed to build confidence, resilience, and leadership while encouraging youth to take on new challenges in a safe and supportive environment.
Through each adventure, participants develop problem-solving skills, teamwork, and a stronger sense of self. Beyond the physical activity, these experiences promote mental wellness, reduce stress, and help youth build meaningful connections with peers and mentors
FOCUS FRIDAYS
Creating a safe space to build community.
