Organized Kaos is not an “up-front” teaching, but a “side-to-side” mentorship, in which trades people teach youth, ages 13-17, in a hands on approach.

It has been a joy to watch Shawn and Melissa’s vision of Organized Kaos progress throughout the last 5 years to become an impactful, engaging program. After more than 36 years of working with youth, I believe in this unique program and am confident it will change lives of young people for the better.

Charlie Kopczyk

Founder/Executive Director of Why Not

Organized Kaos has the potential to change every aspect of a person’s life. By learning, or developing, skills in a trade…confidence can grow. By being surrounds by positive influences who genuinely care for the individual… perspective can be gained. And as all things are permeated and guided by the love of God… purpose can be found!
