Projects and non-profit
At Brian Chris, our projects are more than initiatives - they are living expressions of our mission to inspire, guide, and create meaningful change in people’s lives. Each project reflects a commitment to personal growth, community support, and building environments where individuals can feel seen, heard, and empowered.
From mentoring teenage boys without positive role models, to guiding young people in libraries, to developing larger social initiatives such as Ovento, every project carries the same core values: presence, compassion, and transformation. Some projects focus on personal development, helping individuals overcome challenges and rediscover their strength, while others reach into communities, fostering connection, dialogue, and collective wellbeing.
What unites all our work is the belief that small actions can create lasting impact. Whether it is one conversation with a teenager, a moment of guidance in a library, or a platform bringing people together to fight loneliness, our projects are designed to nurture resilience, awareness, and human connection.
These efforts form the heart of our organization. By engaging in diverse projects, we aim not only to address immediate needs but also to build pathways for a more conscious, connected, and compassionate future.
Ovento - Fighting loneliness through shared experiences
Ovento is a project under Brian Chris that aims to reduce loneliness and create stronger communities by bringing people together through meaningful real-life events. In today’s world, many people feel disconnected despite being “online” all the time. Ovento offers a different path: genuine human connection.
Through the platform, people can discover, join, or create activities that suit their interests - whether it’s sports, cultural events, workshops, or simple social gatherings. Each event is designed to be more than just a meeting; it’s an opportunity to share experiences, grow together, and build lasting bonds.
At its heart, Ovento is about belonging. It is about creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, valued, and supported. For Brian Chris, this project is not just an initiative - it’s part of a larger mission to inspire a society where no one is left standing alone, and where every person has the chance to live moments of joy, connection, and meaning.
Because life is not only about existing - it’s about sharing moments that matter.

Mentorship for teenage boys
Brian has long been committed to mentoring teenage boys who grow up without a strong or positive masculine role model. In today’s world, many young men face challenges that leave them feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure of who they are meant to become. Without healthy guidance, these boys often struggle to build the confidence, resilience, and sense of direction they need.
Through mentorship, Brian provides more than advice - he offers an authentic presence, consistency, and the kind of encouragement that can transform a young person’s outlook on life. He helps these boys see that masculinity is not about toughness or distance, but about integrity, responsibility, empathy, and strength of character. With his support, they begin to understand themselves better, recognize their own potential, and take steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling future.
What makes this work so impactful is the trust that develops over time. The boys discover not just a mentor, but someone who listens without judgment, who believes in them even when they struggle to believe in themselves, and who models what it means to live with purpose. These relationships become turning points, guiding them through the difficulties of adolescence and opening doors to healthier choices, stronger identities, and brighter possibilities.
For Brian, this work is deeply personal and represents one of the most meaningful aspects of his mission. It is not only about shaping individuals, but also about shaping communities - because every boy who grows with guidance and care becomes a man who can positively influence the world around him. This mentorship stands as a cornerstone of the organization’s community efforts and reflects the heart of what Brian and his team strive to achieve.
Guiding children and teenagers in libraries
Another important part of Brian’s work is his collaboration with libraries, where he dedicates time to supporting children and teenagers who come seeking answers, guidance, or simply someone to listen. Libraries have always been places of knowledge and discovery, but for many young people, they also become safe spaces where they can explore questions about life, identity, and their future. Brian’s presence in this environment adds a human and compassionate layer to the learning experience.
Here, children and teenagers are encouraged to ask freely - whether it’s about personal challenges, emotions they don’t understand, or decisions they feel uncertain about. Brian meets them with patience, openness, and respect, creating a space where no question is too small or too difficult. His guidance helps them reflect, discover new perspectives, and feel supported in moments where they might otherwise feel isolated or unheard.
This project is not about giving ready-made answers, but about empowering young people to think for themselves, to find clarity, and to trust their own voice. In this way, the library becomes more than a place of books; it becomes a living environment for growth, confidence, and resilience.
The impact of this work extends far beyond the walls of the library. Children and teenagers who experience being truly seen and heard are more likely to carry forward a sense of belonging, curiosity, and self-worth. By offering them guidance in such a formative stage of life, Brian helps plant seeds of strength and understanding that will continue to grow as they step into adulthood.
