Our Vision
Our Vision
We envision a future where Black boys grow into confident, accountable, and purpose-driven men—equipped with the tools, support, and guidance needed to lead their families, communities, and futures with integrity.
Why We Exist
Why We Exist
Blueprint Boys was created in response to a persistent gap in consistent, positive mentorship for Black boys during critical developmental years. While families do their best with the resources available, many young men lack access to safe spaces where they can be guided, challenged, and encouraged by adults who understand their experiences.
We exist to provide that space—to intervene early, reinforce positive decision-making, and help young men build a strong foundation for adulthood.

We believe mentorship and exposure matter, especially during adolescence.

Our Founder
Our Founder
My name is Ms. Nikki, and I am a North Carolina native with a lifelong passion for youth development and mentorship. I am a graduate of Central Carolina Community College, where I earned my Associate in Arts degree, originally pursuing a path toward teen social work.
Like many people, my journey has not been linear. Life experiences challenged my plans and forced me to take accountability for my choices, reflect, and grow. What once felt like a setback ultimately became a turning point—one that clarified my purpose rather than derailing it.
As a teen, I observed a significant gap in consistent, positive male mentorship within the Black community. These role models were not absent, but often unavailable or stretched thin. Now, as an adult and a parent, I recognize that this gap still exists—and the impact it has on young boys navigating identity, responsibility, and manhood.
Blueprint Boys was created from this awareness and lived experience. The program is rooted in the belief that early guidance, accountability, and exposure can change the trajectory of a young man’s life. My goal is to help create spaces where boys of color feel seen, supported, and equipped to become confident, responsible men.
Outside of this work, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, celebrating life’s milestones, and attending live music events. These moments remind me of the importance of balance, joy, and community—values that are woven into everything we do at Blueprint Boys.
Ms. Nikki,
Founder & Program Director, Blueprint Boys
