Why WE ARE Needed IN
Meadowcreek High school, Norcross, GA
Single Parents have the hardest job in the world.
They have many demands on them, and paying for basic needs fills most of their hours.
​
We Provide Uncles
(& Aunts)
Personalized Mentors.
Academic, Emotional, Spiritual and Lifestyle Assistance to assist the parents as well as the players.
​
Our players often waited up to 2 hours for a ride home after practice. Not uncommon in single parent households.
​
With our 15 passenger van we have now provided over 12,000 rides home after practice.
This transportation has allowed our players to participate in volunteer and school activities.
Our players never had th eopportunity to play Rec Sports in Meadowcreek.​
That means they walked onto the field as the first time as a freshman.
​
We are supporting Rec teams so younger boys age 8 -14 can have the benefits of Coach player relationships, healthy activities, and the consistency of adult relationships that practices provide.
Due to poor nutrition, in 2017 the Football Team had only 3 kids who could bench 300 lbs.
​
Our Training Table was born.
​
We have provided over 2,000 Nutritious Meals
And the players strength (& health) has improved!
​
​
Our players are often not ready or prepared to take the ACT & SAT on time - in order to get into college on time.
​
We assist with academic support, career & college planning, and academic scholarships to players that persevere in their studies, not conditional on athletic skill alone.
​
Fatherlessness results in transience. Most players who begin their high school years at Meadowcreek don't stay due to economic challenges in the home, often moving several times in their High School years.
​
We provide Host Families when homeless players need housing stability to stay in school and in our program.
