COMMUNITY SERVICES

 

• Tutoring

Through tutoring we will assist local schools in providing students the fundamental skills needed to excel academically in order to succeed in the classroom. Our organization will provide tutoring services for up to (10) hours a week during the after-school and summer programs. We offer tutoring for grades K-8, which includes assistance with homework and preparation for test and quizzes.

 

• Mentoring

A mentor is a trusted adult friend with a long-term, consistent commitment to provide guidance and support to a youth. Formal Mentoring Programs are focused on supporting the relationship between mentor and youth (mentee) and developing the character and capabilities of the young person. Through mentoring we will assist the youth in their social development, by helping to ease their transition into adulthood. We will encourage positive attitudes and respect for themselves and others. We will also challenge their ideas and support their goals.

 

• Motivational & Commencement Speaking

Through motivational speaking we would like our players to provide an encouraging message to the youth, which will inspire and encourage them to face the challenges of life. Each player has faced challenges and has overcome obstacles which have helped turned their lives around in a positive manner. The players want to share their storied to help save someone’s life. The players are also available to be a guest speaker for a commencement service.
