Hoops N' Mind

Our Mission

Hoops N’ Mind is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that empowers young adults to reach their full potential by fostering personal growth, mental well-being, and a supportive community through basketball.

Our Program

We offer an engaging basketball camp that goes beyond the game. Our program combines basketball training and competition with impactful personal development workshops to help young adults GROW both on and off the court.  

On the court we focus on fundamental basketball skills (dribbling, shooting, passing) and off the court on strategies and everyday habits to build self-confidence and a positive mindset, including journaling, values exploration, coping strategies, and identifying support networks. Each youth is also matched with a community mentor who provides ongoing support, guidance, and life experience, becoming a part of their support network. 

Principles to GROW

Guiding Values: We emphasize the importance of core values of honesty, integrity, respect, and responsibility. These are a compass for positive choices and to live happily.

Reflecting on your Own: We believe personal growth begins with understanding yourself. Self-reflection and introspection help develop a positive self-esteem.

Overcoming Challenges: We support living with gratitude, reframing negative thoughts, and developing coping mantras. These are crucial for building resilience.

Welcoming Support: We know that seeking help is a sign of strength. We foster a supportive community to navigate life’s challenges and avenues of help.
