TROY
In 2000, a close friend of our founder Nicholas Butler, Troy, was killed due to senseless gun violence, and it was a turning point in our founder's life. Our founder has always been passionate about working with kids, and they quickly realized the urgent need for mentorship and support for at-risk youth in our community. His work with Juvenile Hall only highlighted the system's shortcomings, and he felt frustrated by the bureaucratic red tape that made it impossible to effect meaningful change.
In 2004 Nicholas decided to break out of the system and create something that truly addressed the problem at its core. TROY was born out of a deep desire to bridge the gap between our community's youth and the resources they need to reach their full potential and break the cycle of recidivism that often plagues at-risk youth.
