About the project
Basketball Dreamz was created to equip and maximize future basketball stars with the knowledge and skills to be efficient on and off the court. We aim to help students plan for their futures, and to make smart academic and economic choices, while teaching core values through the sport.
We use restorative practices to teach life lessons and core values through the sport of basketball.
Our Mission is to provide youth with a safe, fun, and learning environment, while teaching Financial Literacy through sports and entertainment.
The goal for our program is to deter youth from violence, help decrease negative performances in a school setting such as academic and behavior, prevent lack of physical exercise, and unhealthy activities.
Basketball Dreamz is dedicated to giving youth new, fun, and learning experiences. Youth will have the opportunity to participate in our Basketball Program, Financial Literacy Program, Mentoring & Tutoring Program.
We're fighting to ensure our young community members learn the value of balancing social skills, education, and athletics in order to foster leadership.
The Steps
This Fall and Winter we are providing a safe space for students in which they are supported in their academic advancement and extracurricular interests.
