Our Founder, Jordan Connell who has leveraged his lived experience with homlessness to run across America.  It all started from Jordan's desire to bring hope to young people across our nation with stories similar to his. In 2012, he partnered with National Safe Place to lead the Run to End Youth Homelessness; a national advocacy campaign in which he ran from Covenant House NY to the Dream Center in LA raising awareness for youth homelessness. Visiting over 30 youth shelters and programs, he had the privilege of building relationships with thousands of resilient teenagers and the amazing people who have dedicated theirs lives to ending this epidemic.

Over the course of the last three years he has dedicated his life to raising awareness of the needs of at-risk and homeless teens.  Through his collaboration and dedication of donating 10% of all earning from his Dog Treat Company Treat Collective Jordan and his partners have vowed to make a difference in a young persons life.

Jordan's desire to love, equip and guide at-risk children and youth extends far beyond the borders of his hometown Franklin County, Missouri to Los Angeles, California he looks forward to seeing his talents strengthened by serving the needs of youth across the world.
