Mission

edit

Work closely with active students in low income communities to change the mentality from “athletics or entertainment being the way out of the neighborhood” to “education being the way into a great university and successful career, while athletics or their chosen extracurricular being only the compliment to the education foundation.”

Vision

edit

That one day the student athlete mindset will not be limited to their athletic ability and instead rely heavily on their commitment to academic excellence for personal advancement and achievement.
