Our Vision
As participants in the 16th leadership class of Next Level Trainings, part of our transformational curriculum is to create a large-scale community service project for a local non-profit. Our team chose to support Maryhaven. Aiming to create hope, empowerment, joy, and love in our community, we declared to raise $165,000 for the adolescent units of Maryhaven to support in their vision: to give teens struggling with addiction and mental illness a supportive place to heal, get sober, and lead healthy, productive lives.

VIP 14 Columbus proudly supports Maryhaven
Few people are untouched by the addiction epidemic, and Maryhaven is on the cutting edge of treatment. Whether the teens of Maryhaven come from the court system, or ran away from home, they need a supportive place to get treatment and break the cycle of substance abuse. Maryhaven gives that to them, and their facilities were also in need of an uplifting makeover. Our mission was clear — to support Maryhaven in creating a new, more empowering space to give these teens a new sense of dignity, creativity, and an intrinsic feeling that they matter.
