Our Approach
Our students are typically athletically privileged, at-risk, discipline involved, trauma induced, forgotten in the classroom, attention deprived, behaviorally challenged, and/or simply misunderstood. In an effort to sustainably meet their needs, our programming seeks to encourage self-enrichment, family enrichment, and academic enrichment in a holistic environment that promotes leadership and responsibility. We impress upon students the importance of being able to face both victories and lessons gracefully, teaching them how to cope with defeat, while still demonstrating ethical behavior, perseverance, resilience and self-discipline.
allows us to form a personal bond and provide resources unique to each students needs.
We strive to get and keep students & athletes off the streets, in school, AND in academic good standing while mentoring & preparing them for scholarly success through college & beyond. Whether it be tutoring to pass a class, another adult to "stay on them", or even assistance with living needs for families facing eviction.
By showing young men and women the power of setting goals and working hard to stay focused on achieving them, we help students carve their dreams out of their current reality.
