The Clubhouse Fitness & Prevention program teaches our youth basketball drills, workout routines and healthy nutrition. 

Through daily clinics with trained staff we aim to increase our participants knowledge about health & wellness and instill better lifestyle practices in their daily routines.

Explore NYC provides opportunities for Yonkers teens to discover all New York City has to offer. Teens will learn how to use public transportation such as local trains, buses & subways.

This provides an opportunity for the teens to escape dangerous neighborhoods while having new experiences.

A leadership initiative that encourages our youth through sports, mentorship, life skills, drug awareness & mental health.

This journey prepares each participant to apply leadership while also challenging them to seek new victories in their careers, relationships, communities & households.

Project Breathe is a program establishing freedom of expression utilizing the arts and physicality to reduce the effects of trauma and stress in the lives of teens who exhibit maladaptive behaviors to move them towards prosocial behavior. We construct a wide range of activities that create opportunities for the youth to immerse themselves in a new culture or way of life. 

Whether it’s in a group social setting or one-on-one counseling and mentorship. We aspire to mold their cognitive development in hopes of gaining pragmatic social evolution within the community. We are confident that Project Breathe can positively impact the lives of teens by presenting an auspicious lifestyle where you can recover and feel better through artistic expression such as painting, sketching, mindfulness meditation, creative writing etc. 

Project Breathe creates the pathway for teens discovering their journey of self-improvement while building a tranquil lifestyle with healthy habits.

With a rise of female leadership in the community, we are determined to help young girls break through barriers and relinquish their power.  

• Power within their knowledge, individual capabilities, self-esteem, and self-belief to make changes in their lives, including learning skills for jobs or entrepreneurship.   
• Power to acknowledge such economic decision-making within their household, community, and local economy (including markets) not just in areas that are traditionally regarded as women’s realm but extending to areas that are traditionally regarded as men’s realm.   
• Power over sustainable access and control in financial literacy including access to employment and income-generation activities.
