Our Vision
To improve our Neighborhoods for our Youth through mentorships and educational programs while building a positive legacy to guide their future.
Our Story
NUSA Project was birth out of a conversation between its co-founders Martin Quarles and John Nelson Jr. Both John and Martin are from S.E. Washington D.C. Some 12 years ago circa we saw an opportunity to change our inner-city communities and the outlook of our youth. The streets and gun violence has taken and continues to take many of our youth.

Q: What can I/we do to make our communities better?
An excellent way to immediately see some change for the better is by organizing some activities that make the area more beautiful.
Not only does this drive up any tourism that there may be, but it’s also a great way to improve the locals’ perception of their surroundings and making sure that a place is the right place for anyone to live in.
Clean-up initiatives are a great way to get rid of the trash in the streets, and you can even encourage groups to plant in community gardens to make the place an excellent sight to behold.

Why are Neighborhoods so important?
Neighborhoods–whether in cities, suburbs, or small towns–are the level where people interact most regularly and naturally. Neighborhoods provide a ready-made forum for tackling problems like traffic, crime, or social alienation that seem too daunting to address on the national or municipal scale.
Schools in the area.
Schools are the cornerstone of our children's lives.
Recreation in the area.
Recreation allows our children to grow physically and socially.
Community working together.
Working together causes a sense of pride in your community.
What is a neighborhood?

The Sixties
It was a decade of extremes, of transformational change and bizarre contrasts: flower children and assassins, idealism and alienation, rebellion and backlash. For many in the massive post-World War II baby boom generation, it was both the best of times and the worst of times.
The Seventies
The hippie culture, which started in the latter half of the 1960s, waned by the early 1970s and faded towards the middle part of the decade, which involved opposition to the Vietnam War, opposition to nuclear weapons, the advocacy of world peace, and hostility to the authority of government and big business.
