Welcome to The Noble Path Foundation

Still smiling from last Sunday... Here’s a look back at some of our favorite moments from Jamming for Joy: A Feel Good Funkraiser. Thank you to everyone who made this unforgettable afternoon possible. ❤️🎶

The Highlight Reel 3/9: Our Music Fam

Ryan Phillips started our music program with free guitar lessons back in 2022. While he was a teacher at JSerra he also taught band and helped spawn the music careers of a few students - two of whom went on to perform at venues like House of Blues and performed for us Sunday! One of them, Marco Caldarone, became the lead guitar and vocals for our headlining band Jaguar Milk AND our Youth Activities Coordinator! His friend Gunnar Gash has also recorded his own original tunes and delights our youth with frequent visits to our open mic nights! It’s always a treat to get all three of them together for a jam session, and jam they did!

Temi Krovblit has also been with us for years. The young singer/songwriter plays guitar and provided the lead vocals for our teen band The Vines. We’ve watched her music career blossom and grow and she’ll be performing at Ocean Fest this year, along with Jukebox 3130, and we hope you will show them some love if you’re there!

Bianca was a young teen growing up in Romania, following The Noble Path Foundation on social media and dreaming of joining us someday. Turns out nothing can stop her when she puts her mind to it and when she turned 18 a little over a year ago she showed up at our doorstep and we welcomed her with open arms!

The underlying theme with all of these musical acts on Sunday is one of FAMILY. The ohana vibe is strong within our TNPF community and it’s truly the heart and soul of everything we do!

Ryan plays bass with Neil Levin & the Cosmic Blues band when he’s not running a successful property management business and you can follow them at @neillevin.

Follow along with Temi’s career at @_temikrovblitmusic and check out what Gunnar is up to at @gunnar.gash.

The Highlight Reel 2/9: The Fitness Challenge

At The Noble Path Foundation, we emphasize a total wellness approach for teens and young adults. In addition to mental health and life skills, the Jamming for Joy Fitness Challenge was a great way to highlight our efforts to improve physical health as well!

The challenge was simple and there were three ways to win: 1) Longest Plank 2) Longest Wall Sit and 3) Longest combined time for both.

Sponsored by Foundation 2.0, trainers Yolanda Milliken and Parker Curran encouraged and cheered for all our competitors and made sure everyone was using correct form. There were three beautiful baskets for the winners, filled with Foundy merch, gift certificates and other goodies. In addition, the winner of the combined challenges was able to choose which local school would receive all the money we raised from each $5 attempt.

Congratulations to Sienna Jenkins who won the Plank Challenge (over 11 minutes!) and to Matthew Shore who did the Wall Sit for over 12 minutes and also won the combined prize! We will be writing a check to St. Edward the Confessor Parish School for over $100 on his behalf.

Huge thanks to Yolanda, Parker and the wonderful crew over at Foundation 2.0. Make sure to follow them at @foundationsc_2.0 or better yet, go check out the amazing vibes and killer workouts at 1030 Calle Sombra, Suite B, San Clemente 92673! 🏋🏻‍♀️

The Highlight Reel 1/9: Jukebox 3130

Thomas Rebele (lead guitar, vocals) started at The Noble Path Foundation (TNPF) as a budding high school musician. Guitar lessons with Marco helped hone his skills and he started his first band, The Vines, with fellow TNPF friends Temi Krovblit, Maison England, Jeremiah Aquino and a few different drummers, ending with Marc Lakeman.

After graduating from high school and attending Saddleback, he and Marc met their current band members, JJ Sanchez (bass, vocals), Arjuna D’Amato (keyboards), and Aniya Wilkins (guitar, vocals) and formed Jukebox 3130. Their style is a blend of classic oldies, blues, and jazz, and judging by the level of talent and determination each member possesses, there is no doubt in our minds that they have long and exciting music careers ahead of them!

Give them a follow or book them for your next event at @jukebox.3130 🎶

Summertime Diamond Painting was a blast but because not everyone was able to finish we’re going to bring it back next week AND also start our FLOWER FROGS, since that’s a 2-week project to let the clay dry!

Normally we put on a movie during Creative Collaborations but ofc we had to watch the USA win in World Cup! Let’s GO! ...

Free Guitar Lessons at 4:30 today with Marco, who dazzled the crowd at Jamming for Joy with his band, Jaguar Milk!

And speaking of dazzling, at 5:30 we’re switching gears and doing Diamond Painting! Music + Art on a Wednesday. Life’s good!! ...

WOW! 🤯 Week 3 of AIM High+Plus didn’t just meet expectations, it raised an already high bar!

We kicked off the evening with an outstanding presentation from Will Scott, founder of @goodonlinemarketing, who shared an eye-opening look at AI, where it’s headed, and how this generation can prepare to thrive alongside one of the fastest-moving technologies in history.

Then came our first Career Roundtable featuring Raven Metzner, acclaimed screenwriter and showrunner whose credits include Star Trek: Discovery, Heroes Reborn, Big Shot, Sleepy Hollow, Falling Skies, and Marvel’s Iron Fist. He’s also written projects for Netflix, Amazon, Apple, FOX, ABC, and CBS—and is currently working on an exciting, upcoming project that begins with Magnificent and ends with Seven. 😉

Equally as impressive as his resume is his generosity. Raven shared the real journey behind his success and reminded our students that great careers are built one opportunity at a time and rarely follow a straight line. As a passionate mentor, he continues to invest in students at LMU and our AIM High+Plus alumni.

This is exactly what makes AIM High+Plus so special: giving young adults direct access to accomplished professionals who genuinely want to help them succeed. It’s an opportunity we offer to 18-25+ yr olds only once a year.

If you have a student ages 13–18, registration is now open for our fall AIM High program beginning September 14. We already have 15 of our 20 spots reserved, so if you’d like your teen to join us for the final AIM High session of 2026, don’t wait!

A huge thank you to Will Scott and Raven Metzner for pouring your knowledge, encouragement, and time into the next generation! ❤️ ...
