Meet Your Host | Rise Above
Working closely with partners, schools, and tribes, we build specialized education programs with basketball clinics at the center. The clinics — free and open to all youth — are the draw and the platform, an invitation for Native youth to hone their skills on and off the court. And research shows us that kids learn better when they engage their bodies along with their brains.
