We value children, families, communities, education, nutrition, fitness and fun. We promote teamwork as the key to helping to build strong families, schools and communities. We serve daily/weekly grab and go nutritious meals endeavoring to eliminate the giant of child obesity as well as food insecurities within the Collin County and the surrounding areas. We mentor students year-round to help improve the student's confidence. Our sports camps help to build strong sportsmanship, goal setting, leadership, teamwork, resilience, and overcoming adversity within each student who attends. Our youth coaching provides lifestyle training, financial literacy, and health and wellness classes that promotes a strong sense of responsibility and commitment. We have virtual stem classes, virtual exercises classes, as well as weekly one on one tutoring sessions. Our academic programs support tutorials for the students and encourage students to pursue education as essential. We inspire our youth through art, music, dance and culture sensitivity.
Our mission is to build social, emotional and learning skills using educational and sports techniques by creating a fun environment that inspires youth to stay active with a focus on eliminating child obesity and food insecurity which cripple the youth and families of our country. We accomplish this mission by training, mentoring, and coaching youth and families to be proactive about their health, prioritizing education, promote fitness and lead balanced and healthy lifestyles. We target under-served, diverse students living in low to moderate income communities; never leaving any child neglected or feeling left out; ensuring they become connected, educated, inspired and well-integrated into society. We envision a world where all young people feel validated, involved and empowered to live healthy and productive lives.
