York Academy of Nevada was founded in 2017 by Andre Pierce. Andre was reared in a Portland, OR neighborhood that mirrors the communities in which too many Clark County youth are surviving, the process of how to have a better life was realized in the eighth grade when he joined a rites of passage program directed by a Harvard alumnus. He developed a strong foundation of leadership, community service and mentoring when he enrolled at Grambling State University and became an active member of United African American Men (UAAM). After He moved to Las Vegas to work for Enterprise Car Rental, He realized what a community without formal rites of passage looks like. So, he formed York Academy of NV with five other Friends. In 2023 York Academy of OR was formed in Portland, OR.
