"During the season, we learned how to be sisters. It felt like we were a family. Even though only one of us played basketball before, we were able to grow together, bring our grades up, learn to be better students, and find a deeper purpose."
Summer Session
Our students experience homelessness year round so this summer has been filled with fun and enriching activities such as gardening, swim class, and music lessons.
