Organization Description
| Service(s) description | To make our BTS programs successful, our focus will be providing each program with paid and trained coaches, assistant coaches, and school liaisons with a focus on positively impacting the life of each student in the program. BTS will cover all of the costs for each student (e.g., shoes, headgear, knee pads, and USA Wrestling cards) in a positive safe environment. In addition to a spring season, we expect to offer student athletes summer camp learning opportunities and other year round programming, including visits to colleges and employers in the Bay Area. Our coaches will be trained to work with marginalized students and build their character and self-esteem, and to build healthy relationships with adults and peers. Our goal will be to offer student athletes trained mentors to help with questions and issues not answered in the classroom. |
| Program impact | Beat the Streets programs across the country have already impacted the lives of over 12,000 youth since 2006 (over 6,000 in 2018 alone!) and created 200+ new youth development programs in underserved communities in major cities across the United States, including New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Providence and Chicago. Through the sports-based youth development programs, the boys and girls which BTS serves have become more confident students, live healthier lives, and have enhanced academic achievement. |
