Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. During the past year, our organization served over 200 youth through basketball leagues, training, and mentorship programs for both boys and girls. Each participant received consistent life skills coaching, personal development, and mentorship from dedicated coaches and staff. Participation in our programs requires youth to demonstrate respect, academic effort, and positive behavior at home and in the community reinforcing accountability and character growth both on and off the court. In addition to our basketball programs, we hosted an indoor football training camp, coordinated college visits for student-athletes, and engaged over 20 alumni who returned to mentor and train younger participants, passing down lessons from their own journeys. While our in-prison basketball and mentorship initiative has been paused since COVID-19 restrictions, our organization remains committed to expanding its impact in correctional settings. Notably, our program funder now serves on the Juvenile Justice Policy & Oversight Committee JJPOC, positioning us to help influence policy-level change for youth across the state.
