The Foundation of Holistic Growth

The SPE Youth Center is a vibrant sanctuary where urban culture meets holistic development.

We harness the power of Hip Hop to provide specialized tutoring, life skills, therapy, and career exploration for neurodivergent and at-risk youth ages 10–30. Integrating evidence-based therapy and essential life skills, we empower students to build professional futures and foster a generation of resilient leaders.

What we do

Eight programs, one goal: life skills, career exploration and academic excellence for neurodivergent and at-risk youth.

Beyond the Block

Vocational speakers

Allow your youth to be surrounded by Christian leaders who help build community — not only for the child, but for the whole family. Career presenters bring their industry into the center so students can see what's possible.

Beyond the Walls

Members-only field trips and career tours take learning outside the center — new places, new people, new possibilities.

“Bringing back the basics and creating a foundation, TOGETHER.”

Valerie CongoteCEO & Founder, The SPE Program

SPE was born from a mother's experience raising a teen with autism — and a vision received in a homeless shelter, written into a business plan that same night. Ten years later, the doors opened in Kissimmee.
