What We Look For
This isn't about labeling youth as "troubled." This is about meeting them where they are — and helping them become who they're meant to be.
We are intentional about who we accept into this program. Brick by Brick is not for those looking for a one-time experience - it's for those ready (or willing) to grow.
Not every application will be selected.
Because of the depth, structure. and commitment required, we carefully choose participants who will benefit most and fully engage in the program.
