Who Is Dear Nicheland?

Our Dear Nicheland

Nicheland Skipper

The Dear Nicheland Project was founded in memory of the name and heart of Nicheland Skipper.  Nicheland was a young man who suffered from depression and passed at the age of 23. He was an athlete, gamer, artist and great friend. He had completed his first year as a student in Video Game Design at the Art Institute and was pursuing his artist dreams.   While Nicheland managed to effectively mask his own struggles, he chose to embrace and encourage his friends and relatives through their dark times.  Nicheland was known as a mentor to the many young people that surrounded him.   He was able to inspire friends from all walks of life through his positive vibes and encouragement.  Our goal is to continue to inspire young people to unmask the darkness and learn coping skills to manage their depression.
