Our Youth Crisis is Real. We Are the Intervention.
Every day, the system fails another child. Anxiety, insecurities, addiction, and violence are winning. We are on the front lines, using sports to reclaim a generation. We cannot do it alone.
Mental Health Epidemic
Suicide is a leading cause of death for ages 10–24. Sports pressure is fueling anxiety and depression at dangerous levels.
A Tide of Violence
Firearms are the leading cause of youth deaths. Without mentorship, purpose and positive spaces with strong adult connections, the streets and online access step in. Too many kids are pushed toward gangs, violence and the criminal justice systems.
The Fentanyl Scourge
Fentanyl is now the #1 cause of death for ages 18–45. One pill can kill. Disconnected youth without strong mentorship and/or strong relationships with parents and trusted adult oversight are most at risk.
