The Inner City Student Athletes initiative proactively combats urban violence by forging connections between at-risk youth and professional athlete sports camps, alongside the Film/Media project “Street Just’Us,” a Comic Book/Cartoon Animated Series currently seeking television network approval. Furthermore, we equip K-12 students with “MY POCKET SCHOOL”, an educational advancement tool designed to empower all young individuals, particularly those in underserved communities, to realize their full potential.
Presently, the initiative serves the Columbus metropolitan area, directly impacting over 150 underserved youth and their families within the South Linden, Franklinton, and Eastside neighborhoods of Columbus, Ohio. Since its establishment in 2020, our “Mentoring with Schools” program has achieved substantial expansion, now reaching over 500 elementary school students across Georgia and California, with continued growth projected through the 2025-2026 academic year.
