OUR MISSION IS TO CREATE STRONGER, SAFER AND BETTER URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS
We are a grass root 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization founded by Christian Schoyen with the goal of creating stronger, safer, better and more caring at-risk urban neighborhoods for children, their pets, elderly and everyone impacted in at-risk communities. We believe this goal is accomplished by recognizing, headhunting, uniting and supporting the local modern day Viking role models, who makes positive change possible. We seek to foster and nurture the four core Viking traits in children to empower them and support the courageous modern day Vikings taking on the Neighborhood Rescue Challenge, while using zero government dollars.
History of neighborhood rescue
Origin
Neighborhood Rescue 101

The idea for Neighborhood Rescue of America began in 2010 as the Corporate Social Responsibility program of Executive Search Research (ESR)., where Christian toured low-income USA with the "Change Your Life- Change the world" workshop, which laid the groundwork for how to change entire communities.

In 2012, after evaluating hundreds of struggling cities, Christian decided on Las Vegas, which had the worst conditions, where he traveled to validate the 10-step blue print created to transform entire communities and cities. The entire blueprint was detailed outlined in his Neighborhood Rescue 101 manual.

The project (2012-2015), which took place over 21 field days included Christian and Neighborhood Rescue recruiting an elite team, introducing the essential Viking spirit through Leif Erikson day. As the Project Director, he lead the transformation of the most dangerous community in the city. Everything was documented in the feature documentary Vegas Vikings.
