What Is N.O.L.A.N.?

“Through education and awareness, we seek to put an end to hazing and to empower you to make the difference between life and death.”

The mission of NMB Foundation is to assist young adults in recognizing and preventing the dangers associated with hazing. We utilize local schools and parent-teacher organizations through education and awareness to promote a full and honest conversation to provide solutions to help young adults combat hazing.

Our vision is to teach young adults how to understand and identify the behaviors of hazing. We encourage leadership and the importance of not being an inactive bystander. We want others to understand the life-long legal, moral and financial consequences of participating in hazing. Provided this knowledge, we hope to empower young adults to overcome reluctance to report incidents and to utilize CPR and basic medical assistance to save a life.
