Founded in 2010 as Youth Choices, LLC, of Nevada, SPIRIT, Inc. is a social enterprise focused on providing U.S. communities with innovative prevention and intervention methodologies, and with high-tech solutions that connect at-risk youth, families and individuals with the most effective resources available. Led by the company’s founders and executive team member social entrepreneurs with over 50 years of combined experience in youth-focused initiatives, SPIRIT’s beginnings were based on a powerful, grassroots collaboration with experts representing many relevant disciplines. SPIRIT then combined this valuable input with its in-depth knowledge of national, evidenced-based best practices and innovative technology solutions. SPIRIT’s experienced software development team provides mobile technology to many Fortune 500 companies and has developed an app currently used by the Department of Defense for military response training in life-and-death scenarios. SPIRIT’s success is predicated on ongoing collaboration with experts in child psychology, social epidemiology in public health, criminal and juvenile justice, information sharing and digital technology. Without question, the combined expertise, passion, and shared vision exponentially multiplies the impact and results SPIRIT can achieve for youth, families and adults across the nation.
