THE SAFETY INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM
NON-PROFIT WITH MISSION OF REDUCING CRIME THROUGH PARTNERS
We are a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization founded by Christian Schoyen to create safer communities for children and pets by reducing crime through the turnarounds of "target" communities. This occurs by empowering individuals to create stronger communities and bridging police with residents.

ABOUT US
Neighborhood Rescue of America (NRA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to creating safer neighborhoods for all, from Beverly Hills to Harlem., with no use of tax money. Our mission is to ensure safety as a fundamental right for every American, focusing on children and animals regardless of socioeconomic status. We advocate, “Love your Neighbor, Love Your Neighborhood, Love Your Country.” We believe empowerment is the key to both personal and national security and that the real strength of a nation starts from within its neighborhoods.
OUR VISION AND ECOSYSTEM APPROACH
Through our best-practice blueprint, strategic intelligence, tactical planning, and volunteer-based initiatives, we create safer neighborhoods without relying on tax dollars. Our vision is to transform community safety and law enforcement across the nation by leveraging the collective strengths of our integrated ecosystem. This ambitious goal is achievable through the synergy of recruitment innovation, community engagement, technological advancement, leadership programs, and strategic partnerships.
VOLUNTEER-BASED
Safety isn't just a privilege—it's a fundamental right. By neighbors standing together, fostering strong, volunteer-based initiatives, and supporting self-governing communities, we can build a safer, stronger America for all. Our non-political efforts aim to unite people across all socioeconomic classes to create lasting change without relying on tax dollars. Together, one neighborhood at a time, we can achieve this vision.
THE VALIDATED VIKINGS BLUEPRINT
Our approach at Neighborhood Rescue of America is both innovative and effective. In addition to strategic community-based partnerships, we use a game-based platform called the Vegas Vikings Game, which incorporates our best-practice methodology for reducing crime and building stronger communities from within, integrating the Viking Althing methodology. This game has shown remarkable results, including a 75% reduction in crime within 21 field days in the most dangerous neighborhood in Las Vegas, resulting in a $10 million impact. This initiative was spearheaded by Christian Schoyen, the Chairman of NRA and a direct descendant of Viking King Gudröd Ragnvaldsson. The success of the Vegas Vikings Game has extended beyond Las Vegas in its 10th year running, as the principles are universal, achieving over 90% crime reduction in other states.
Our Norse belief is that the only limitation to transforming all struggling high-crime neighborhoods in the US is ourselves. By awakening the inner Viking blueprint, we become limitless and able to achieve actual change in both our own lives and other people's lives, which includes joining forces to take our streets back and ensuring safety for everyone.

Our goal is to make cities self-sufficient in rebuilding their own communities
With myself flying 9 time zones across the planet from ground zero, without a network, next to a full-time job in the corporate world, succeeding as the project director to transform the highest-crime neighborhood in Las Vegas due to a collaborative effort with amazing partners recruited, where the city had not succeeded for the previous 15 years, I see no reason why this cannot be duplicated a thousand times over. The formula in a community transformation is 100% due to a collaborative effort and a “We” mindset.
History of Neighborhood Rescue of America
Origin in 2010
The idea for Neighborhood Rescue of America/GoViking began in 2010 as the CSR program of (ESR), where Christian Schoyen toured low-income USA with the "Change Your Life- Change the world" lectures to activate the Viking spirit. The idea of changing entire communities with the Viking Althing Philosophy was ignited.
Neighborhood Rescue 101
In 2012, after evaluating hundreds of struggling cities and learning about the distrust between police and the community in Las Vegas, which had the worst conditions in the country for children and animals, he decided to fix this. Next, he created the 10-Challenge Vegas Vikings game
