We believe Empower is well-positioned for continued growth and wish the team success during this next chapter.”

“NCP has been a valued partner, and we are thankful for their strategic support over the past several years,” said Josh Glade, CEO of Empower. “With the dedicated support and resources that the NCP team provided, we expanded our evidence-based service offerings and proprietary product lines, ultimately accelerating our ability to improve services available to vulnerable populations. We are excited to work with the NexPhase team to build on our momentum and expand the reach of our evidence-based programs to even more youth, families, and communities worldwide.”
