Overview

Mission

The purpose of the organization is to bridge the gap between the schools homes and communities. Providing opportunities for and support for youth K-12th grade students

What it reported doing in 2023

This program allowed 60 youth in the community to participate in sports active activities while learning to work with others from different backgrounds.
