BUILD YOUR OWN GENIUS
A Sponsorship Opportunity to Empower the Next Generation
This isn't just another program.
It’s a movement. A blueprint.
A second chance.
It’s the spark some youth never get—until now.

Our Story
James McClinton, a former D1 athlete from the University of Kansas, thought football was his way out. When that dream collapsed, so did the identity he’d built around it. But out of that disappointment came discovery—of business, of mentorship, and of purpose.
Dr. Alexis Maston-McClinton grew up in foster care, endured abuse, and wasn’t allowed to attend school from ages 11–14. She defied the odds to become the first in her family to earn a Ph.D. Her life is proof that with support and strategy, pain can become power.
Together, we created The Genius Center—a space where youth are seen, trained, and launched.
Our students come from single-parent homes, immigrant families, and under-resourced communities. But they show up with grit, ideas, and a hunger to win.
The Impact
After 16 weeks of hands-on development, our students are launching real businesses in industries like:
Barbering
Construction & Real Estate
Custom Auto & Mechanics
Apparel & Branding
Tech and Automation
From vision boards to business plans, from pitch decks to product showcases—our youth are not just preparing for the future, they're building it.
And now, we invite you to help us expand what’s possible.

Because when you invest in youth, you invest in legacy.
