"A Youth and Family Services Agency"
ABOUT US
MISSION & HISTORY
Established in 2017 and officially transitioned to nonprofit status in 2024, No Barriers 2 Success (NB2S) is dedicated to empowering Detroit’s at‑risk, low‑income youth ages 16–22. Many of the young people we serve face significant challenges, including economic hardship, educational barriers, limited job opportunities, and re‑entry after incarceration. NB2S provides the resources, guidance, and supportive environment needed to help youth strengthen basic skills, build confidence, and pursue meaningful career and education pathways. Through work readiness training, career opportunities, and education support, we have connected more than 1,750 youth to employment, including GDYT Summer positions and private‑sector jobs. As a youth‑led organization, we also address food insecurity by providing meals at every session and offer supportive services for entire families. NB2S is committed to helping young people develop strong character, a passion for education, and a dedication to community service—creating a clear pathway to long‑term success for Detroit’s next generation.
EMPLOYMENT & TRAINING
No Barriers 2 Success was formed to provide Employment & Training services for metro Detroit youth, ages 16 – 24 years, who face one or more barriers to achieving academic or career success. Our organization is dedicated to providing life skills, career readiness, employability skills, college prep, financial literacy, and employment opportunities to empower young individuals to overcome obstacles and achieve success in their academic and professional lives.
OUR PARTNERS
No Barriers 2 Success collaborates with a diverse network of partners, including local businesses, educational institutions, community organizations, and government agencies. Together, we work towards the common goal of creating a supportive and inclusive environment for the youth in metro Detroit. Our partners play a crucial role in helping us deliver impactful programs and opportunities that enable young individuals to overcome barriers and thrive in their educational and professional journeys.
