Our mission is to treat trauma through arts, recreation, and education using brain health.

Back in 2007 when Life Outside the Streets was founded by Jon Mckay, our mission was to increase success both at home and in the classroom through mentorship, training, and resources.

Outreach has always been our specialty since 2007. At the start of the summer of 2007, we launched LOTS with the Sneaker Villa Camp Tour, where we rewarded families with a discount or giveaway for taking literature on free to low-cost camp programs available in the city.

From 2007 to 2012 Life Outside the Streets continued to cross-promote resources and information through family-oriented events, recreation, and outreach. We would host skating parties at the legendary Carmen's Skating Rink, performing arts showcases at halls, clubs, and venues such as the Philly Rotunda on UPenn’s campus, and we would provide the youth artist development and entrepreneurship programs as real-world learning opportunities.

Now here we are locked and loaded in 2021. We have everything we need to heal our community and make it a safe place to live and grow.
