About Us

A Vision for Change

Chronicles of Our Journey

New Destiny Center Inc. (NDC) was founded in 2007 as a non-profit, 501c3 organization. Having previous experience working with at-risk children and a background in law enforcement, the founder was inspired to do something in his hometown to make a difference. So, he and his wife reached out to other members of the community for help and five years later New Destiny Center opened the doors to it's residential care program "Operation New Start" in April of 2012. The program served thousands of boys from counties across the state of South Carolina, providing them with a safe, structured environment, services to get on the right track, reuniting them with family or connecting them with new forever families.
