WORK to REWARD  

DJ was a  quiet 12 year old when our programs started two 2 years ago. Recently he demonstrated growth by excitedly responding, after a Life Lessons Post-Test, that he was "I'm thinking about doing better and I like it".

 

We're Proud to be helping kids in our programs become aware and realize that the American Dream is alive & well ready for them to sieze the opportunities that await.  

 

 

 

We're NOT just about Hiphop Basketball. This thrilling copyrighted new sport played - 3 on 3 on, a short full court, with goals lowered to dunking height is a magnet.
  
Once engaged participants realize that we're really about teaching children what's expected of them to achieve success for a better life.
