“We’ve only just begun, but this pickleball program is already making an impact. For our supported living clients, it’s a chance to be included, to move freely, and to feel seen. NPIE has always focused on developing new avenues to reach those who need it most, and this initiative is proof that we’re growing—physically, spiritually, and as a community. It’s more than recreation—it’s restoration.”

“This new pickleball program is quickly becoming one of the most exciting ways we’re connecting with our youth. It’s fun, accessible, and most importantly, it brings our young people into a space where culture, character, and community all come together. NPIE is always looking for fresh ways to grow our outreach, and this initiative is already proving to be a tool for mentorship, identity building, and unity in real time.”

“Being part of the launch of NPIE’s pickleball initiative has been a powerful experience. As a life coach, I see this as a new and much-needed outlet for holistic healing. It’s not just about physical health—it’s about creating safe spaces where our people can reconnect with their purpose, rediscover joy, and walk in their calling. This program opens new doors for us to fulfill NPIE’s mission of cultural preservation, wellness, and community restoration—one match, one moment at a time.”
