PROJECT S.T.R.E.E.T.S was created in response to the ongoing loss, violence, and limited opportunities affecting underserved communities. The organization is rooted in the belief that young people deserve more than a future defined by the streets.

At its core, PROJECT S.T.R.E.E.T.S focuses on keeping young people off the streets, in school, and surrounded by positive influences. Through mentorship, education, sports, and community engagement, the organization works to show youth that there is a better life than what they may see around them. Basketball and sports are used as powerful tools to teach discipline, teamwork, confidence, and resilience offering a healthy outlet and a safe space where youth can grow and feel supported. 

Locally, particularly in communities like the Bronx, PROJECT S.T.R.E.E.T.S aims to:

    •    Prevent youth violence and incarceration

    •    Provide safe, structured environments through sports clinics and tournaments

    •    Keep neighborhoods clean, safe, and united through community work

    •    Offer workshops, trips, and mentorship that expand young people’s vision of what’s possible

    •    Support families and reduce the emotional toll of loss within the community

Internationally, PROJECT S.T.R.E.E.T.S extends its mission to communities abroad, including parts of Africa, by:

    •    Addressing food insecurity through food giveaways and feeding programs

    •    Supporting schools and children in need

    •    Promoting compassion, service, and global responsibility

    •    Living out the principle that one should not eat while others are hungry

Across all its projects, PROJECT S.T.R.E.E.T.S stands for its acronym and values:

Safe, Teach, Respect, Equality, Educated, Truth, Success. 

Ultimately, the organization’s goal both locally and internationally is to empower youth, strengthen communities, and replace cycles of struggle with pathways to hope, purpose, and success, proving that with unity and action, real change is possible.
