Project Title: Youth Social Development 2027
Project Description:

The Youth Social Development Program is designed to promote the physical, mental, and academic well-being of student-athletes participating in high-level competitive basketball events, including NCAA Live Periods. Our program serves youth from rural and underserved communities, many of whom face financial, transportation, and access barriers that limit participation in structured athletics.

Competing during NCAA Live Periods provides student-athletes with critical exposure to collegiate opportunities, but it also requires proper preparation, supervision, and support to ensure their overall health and welfare. Our program addresses this need by providing:

Physical Health and Safety Support
Mental and Emotional Well-Being
Academic Accountability
Equity and Access
Structured Adult Supervision & Compliance

Total Project Budget: 11,916

Other Funding
