Our Programs Build Strong Leaders

Basketball & Leadership Training

Our basketball programs go beyond the game. We teach life skills such as discipline, perseverance, teamwork, and strategic thinking while building self-confidence and leadership abilities.

Trauma Healing & Support

We provide a safe space for youth impacted by gun violence to heal and process their emotions through trauma-informed care, group healing circles, and one-on-one counseling. Our mentorship programs pair young people with positive role models who help them navigate life's challenges and work towards achieving their goals, both on the court and in their personal lives.

Violence Prevention Events

From hosting basketball tournaments in inner-city neighborhoods to organizing talent shows that showcase the diverse skills of our youth, we create safe spaces that educate communities on violence prevention. Our events also serve to raise awareness about gun violence and its lasting impact on young people.
