01 why we exist

The dream vs. Reality gap

At-risk youth streetballers in underserved communities are full of talent, but without real opportunities beyond hoop dreams, many struggle to build a stable future, facing obstacles that limit their potential.

Neglected spaces and systemic disinvestment kneecap youth opportunities and neighborhoods

Weakened Communities

Financial struggles restrict access to education, training, and athletic development opportunities.

limited Resources

Few career pathways beyond basketball lead to economic struggles and unfulfilled potential.

Wasted Opportunities

The absence of role models leaves youth without guidance for personal growth.

Shortage of mentorship

Budget cuts eliminate sports and development programs in low-income communities.

Underfunded Programs

Limited success outside basketball damages confidence, self-worth, and future aspirations.

Low Self-Esteem

Unsafe streets and gang activity endanger youths future, limiting safe recreational outlets.

Violence and Crime

Underfunded schools and academic struggles restrict future career and college prospects.

Educational Barriers

Hoop dreams are valid, but your backup plan should be, too.”

— James Curtis, Founder of GWYP
