Our Youth
Ballin Up N Harlem offers mentorship programs and support services for youth to provide them with positive role models, guidance, and opportunities for personal and academic growth. These programs can help steer youth away from negative influences and behaviors, including involvement in gun violence.
Create safe havens within communities where youth can gather, engage in constructive activities, and access resources. Safe spaces provide alternatives to the streets and help protect youth from exposure to violence.
THE BEST METHOD TO ASSIST THE YOUTH IS TO INSTILL IN THEM THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPECT, COMPASSION AND EDUCATION.
