Camp Hoop Heroes is a free week-long, intensive youth leadership and mentoring program which responds to the need for more mentors willing to work with local youth.

Mentoring creates a positive impact in youth’s lives. Youth with mentors have higher rates of high school graduation, and are less likely to drop out of school. They find more self-confidence, self esteem, and are able to create big goals for themselves. Additionally, studies show that behavior, attitudes, and relationships improve when a youth has a mentor.” ~ Boston University
