PLANNED SPORTS MENTORING PROGRAM EXPANSION: (Fall 2016)
Youth Mentoring Program— H.U.T.S. (Help Underage Teens Soar): Developing Future Leaders through Sports, Technology and Math
All recreational sports activities offered through the MLK Center will be enhanced by adding a structured mentoring component. H.U.T.S. Sports Mentoring Program is a planned community-based intervention program that is aimed to prevent juvenile delinquency, substance use, and school failure for all students, especially high-risk adolescents. The program will provide a community environment that allows youth to realize that their actions can bring about desired consequences, and it reinforces this belief by eliciting participation from teachers and parents.
