WHAT IS ONUS PROJECT?


The ONUS Project began as a direct service provider—and has since evolved into a bold youth development brand that amplifies what young people value and deserve. We design experiences, events, and digital platforms that interrupt “business as usual” and offer something more joyful, more creative, and more real.


We aim to redefine youth culture by confidently uplifting youth voice, creativity, and purpose.


Our three guiding goals:

  • To help young people feel deeply connected to themselves
  • To support them in serving their communities with pride
  • And to empower them to be influential voices on the issues that matter

…all while having fun!


ONUS shines a light on everything that unites us, everything that makes us unique, and everything that gives life meaning. Our youth-led philosophy is rooted in intentional engagement, authentic connection, and the belief that natural excellence already lives in our young people.

Though we operate as an LLC, we are proud to work in fiscal partnership with East Columbus Development Company, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports tax-deductible donations and grant funding.

We also believe in genuine partnerships—with organizations, individuals, and movements that care deeply about their communities and are ready to co-create change.

Because if we want better for our youth, our schools, our streets, and our shared future—
THE ONUS IS ON US.
