Why Choose The BOLO Project for Your Teen?
Program Overview
Imagine your teen coming home energized, confident, and actually talking about their day. Picture them taking initiative, setting goals, and – most importantly – following through.
This isn't just wishful thinking. This is what happens at The BOLO Project.
As parents, we know you want your teen to thrive in every aspect of life- academically, socially, and emotionally. The BOLO Project is here to help make that happen.
We transform your teen's future in 60 Days with an innovative, dog-centric program specifically designed to develop character, confidence, and the leadership they need to succeed in today's challenging and distracting world.

Real Stories, Real Students, Real Impact
"Whatever you are doing should be taught to all therapists and mental health organizations. We have been struggling with our child's mental health for the past 2 years or so, and we haven’t seen her as happy as she is now since 2021, despite working with multiple therapists. She is so excited to be a part of your program.
The service project component is huge and has always been an area where we have seen her come alive as she loves to help others. I’m sure it’s equally exciting for the other youth in the group.
Thank you for your good work!" - Alicia
