Our Vision Is Clear
We exist to eliminate youth violence in Northwest Indiana.
The Social Development framework/strategy outlines, that being connected to an adult with healthy beliefs and clear standards prevents Youth violence, substance misuse and abuse, as well as risky sexual behavior.
Because of this strategy, Holistic Evolution knows that fully trained and certified Holistic Heroes (male mentors) will be impactful in changing the trajectory of males of color 16-24 yrs old in Northwest Indiana.

“Joy and Peace of Mind!”
“I had gone through the ringer with limited resources of getting a mentor or big brother programs. HE has given me a sense of relief. I know I’m not the only mother seeking resources with young teenage man. As a mom, I want to rear him in the right direction. Since the start of HE , my son’s approach and motivation to want to do better has been for the good. Larry (Males With a Plan) has been an awesome help with checking in weekly and just seeing where he is mentally. It makes a difference.”
