What people are saying

I was growing up and as a young adult. With their guidance and personal examples, I have been Blessed to have successful farming/ranching and Clean Energy businesses. I was able to learn the values of leadership, hard work, perseverance and service to others. I am grateful to the Kainos Academy for providing the same opportunity to young adults that I had by providing mentorship, leadership examples and the values of respect for others, work and service.

What people are saying

More than 15 years ago, I started a business with the promise that I would give 10% to help make a difference. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would have been able to not only give what we’ve given, but also to be able to build such a great team. We are ready to take everything we have learned and go to the next level. We are excited about breaking the chains of generational poverty and helping young adults build generational wealth. When I started In the beginning, all I needed was one person to believe in me. With Kainos Academy, we are that one person that believes in you.
