Driven By Our Ambitions (DBOA) is a culturally responsive mental health and wellness organization rooted in Aurora, Colorado. We support inner city youth, men of color, and their families by transforming traditional therapy through creative, trusted spaces like gyms, barbershops, music studios, and boxing rings.
Mental health impacts how we think, feel, act, and connect with others. Caring for yourself means protecting the futures of those you love. At DBOA, we remove stigma, increase access to care, and build trust by meeting people where they are — emotionally, culturally, and physically.
Our spaces within ABC Community Hub, based in a revitalized school, offers spaces for counseling, creativity, healing, and growth. Through representation, relationships, and relevance, we’re not just providing services — we’re building a movement for generational wellness.
