Mission Statement
Ballers & Bookworms provides free academic and athletic support to youth from underserved communities.
Description
The main focus of Ballers & Bookworms is to level the playing field. This means that we want to see a world where all student-athletes have access to quality athletic training, nutrition, academic support, and financial assistance no matter their family's economic situation.
Most importantly, we believe that there are no athletics without academics. In order to play hard on the field, student-athletes need to perform just as well off the field and in the classroom. Physical activity and academic achievement are linked which is why we promise that all of our students will be paired with passionate tutors and given the necessary tools to win in school.
