The Story of Kokomo Urban Outreach: From a Beating Heart to a World Illuminated
About the Artist: Deana Sparks Thompson
We are incredibly fortunate to house a sweeping collection of murals by visionary artist Deana Sparks Thompson. While Deana’s roots trace back to Greentown, Indiana, she spent over 30 years honing her craft under the expansive skies of Texas. Now back home, Deana’s influence on our building goes far deeper than pigment on plaster—from room layout to the flow of furniture, she helped shape this environment so the physical space and the art exist in perfect harmony.

"Life can be a blur of missing pieces; we help kids navigate the puzzles of life so they finally have everything they need to feel whole."
Growing up can feel overwhelming and fragmented. Through structured mentorship, accountability, and practical life skills, we help youth assemble the missing pieces—education, work ethic, and character—so they can step confidently into wholeness.
