The New Solutions Network (NSN) has officially welcomed Coach Shawn “Kellz” Kelly to its growing #GameMindset initiative, a program designed to inspire, educate, and empower young people through mentorship, leadership, and community engagement. Together, they’re advancing Project 201 — a movement dedicated to transforming lives “one story, one kid, one future at a time.”
Coach Kellz, known for his dynamic presence both on and off the court, brings a fresh perspective to the NSN mission. His work as a coach, motivational speaker, and community advocate has long emphasized mental resilience, teamwork, and discipline — values that align perfectly with the #GameMindset vision. The partnership marks a new chapter for both Coach Kellz and NSN as they collaborate to use sports, education, and technology as tools for positive change.
At its core, the #GameMindset initiative aims to help young athletes and students cultivate a mindset built around perseverance and purpose. By blending sports psychology with real-world problem-solving, the program encourages participants to see challenges as opportunities to grow. Coach Kellz’s involvement amplifies that mission, bringing authentic experience and mentorship that young people can relate to and learn from directly.
Project 201, the outreach arm of this initiative, focuses on community-based programs that invest in the next generation through storytelling, mentorship, and academic support. Every student’s story matters — and by listening, engaging, and guiding, NSN hopes to break cycles of poverty, violence, and disenfranchisement that too often limit potential. The campaign’s goal is both immediate and generational: to change the trajectory of young lives and build a foundation for lasting success.
What makes this collaboration especially meaningful is its integration of technology and social impact. The New Solutions Network has been developing digital tools that connect mentors with students, track progress, and share inspirational stories that resonate across communities. These efforts are supported by interactive online resources and content hubs where young people can find guidance, career insights, and personal-development tools from industry leaders and mentors like Coach Kellz.
This forward-thinking approach positions NSN as a pioneer at the intersection of technology, education, and empowerment — a model that continues to attract innovators, educators, and advocates throughout New Jersey. For Coach Kellz, joining the #GameMindset family is an opportunity to expand his lifelong mission of helping youth realize their worth and potential through structured mentorship and community support.
“Mindset changes everything,” Coach Kellz has often said. “When you teach young people to think differently — to see themselves as capable, accountable, and valuable — you create a ripple effect that transforms communities.” His philosophy mirrors NSN’s larger mission of using innovation and human connection to unlock opportunity where it’s needed most.
As this collaboration gains momentum, NSN and Coach Kellz are inviting community members, schools, and local organizations to get involved. Whether through donations, volunteer work, or digital engagement, every contribution helps Project 201 expand its reach and deepen its impact.
