We start by meeting our kids where they are in 2017, using what they love—”nerd and pop-culture” (comic books, anime and video games). These fictional characters, worlds, and interactive activities help our kids develop positive identities and relationships not only with others but themselves.
Over 200 youth served—and counting!
We use video games and esports to create inclusive spaces to help kids build the social-emotional skills they need to play safely and mindfully.
Using comic books, graphic novels and manga as learning tools, we’re inspiring kids to read and create their own heroic adventures.

Our mission is to foster a generation of future heroes through empowering events and programs based in nerd culture, such as video games and comic books, for underserved and marginalized youth.
We’ll purchase more equipment, consoles, and vanguards—a “portable suitcase” gaming system that comes complete with monitors and speaker systems. This allows us to serve more youth in different communities, and making our mission mobile and transportation friendly.
We’ll purchase more comics, toys, and school supplies for our giveaways, and bring special guests (comic, TV, & film celebrities) to meet kids and their families. Also—we want to keep Hero Con 100% free.
