Overview

Mission

To enrich and impact the lives of economically disadvantaged youth of NC by filling the educational gaps, emotional and lack of parental involvement through the utilization of sports.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our vision is to transform communities by inspiring youth to dream big and excel at their fullest potential. We believe that all children can aspire and strive to live out their drams if provided with the necessary tolls and resources to succeed. The Tresports Program delivers an array of services including activities that promote the concepts and principles of restorative justice competency development, public safety, and accountability. The program is designed to address the elevated risks factors of Mecklenburg County. Youth associating with delinquent peers, unexcused absences and long and short term suspensions, functioning below grade level. Because poverty, parent child conflict and academic failure are associated with so many of the elevated risks identified by the JCPC the program emphasizes skills development and education as a means to improve ones life.
