In My Own Words

"If cricket could change my life at age 45, what could it do for kids in Compton? Kids growing up with violence and gangs all around them. Kids who needed something more".

Sports (cricket)

Are you the next cricketer

At the heart of our program is cricket, where athletes not only develop skills in the sport but also learn teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Cricket becomes the foundation of physical and mental growth as they engage in a supportive and dynamic team environment.

“My daughter recently participated in a youth hygiene workshop, and it was such a valuable experience for her! She came home excited and eager to share what she learned about personal hygiene, from proper handwashing techniques to understanding the importance of daily routines to keep her healthy and confident. The workshop made learning fun and accessible, and she now feels empowered to take care of herself with these new skills. I’m so grateful for programs like this that focus on teaching our youth about the importance of hygiene and self-care in a way that truly resonates with them.”
