HOW NEOS FORMED

From Community to Career Pathways

Founded by Randolph Ricketts, NEOS was built to create access and opportunity through sports. What started as a solution to a shortage of officials has grown into a workforce development platform impacting youth, communities, and the sports industry at large.

Our Team

Our team is made up of dedicated professionals from a wide range of backgrounds, bringing diverse perspectives and expertise to every aspect of our work. This diversity ensures that our programs are both inclusive and thoughtfully structured, allowing us to effectively carry out our vision of empowering youth and strengthening communities. With the support of our donors, we are able to turn that vision into meaningful opportunities and lasting impact.
