Girls Off the Streets (G.O.T.S.) is a comprehensive, year-round program that features organized basketball sessions. These sessions are conducted in 10 to 12-week intervals in collaboration with local community partners. The program is totally free to low-income participants; others are offered a nominal sliding-scale assessment.
In addition to basketball, we offer a variety of adventures to help reduce stress and Community Violence Exposure. Girls Off the Streets helps young ladies build skills to become confident, self-reliant and productive adults. Through dedication, education, and inspiration, G.O.T.S. hopes to empower our participants to reach their personal best. Our holistic approach includes Mind – Education, Body – Healthy Living, and Spirit – Enrichment. We formulate partnerships with the key stakeholders in the health and success of our youth: parents, schools, and sponsors throughout the community.
Community Violence Exposure is a public health issue and we are deeply concerned about its effect on our youth. Acute Community Violence Exposure can lead to changes in behavior and neural processing that increase the risk of engaging in delinquency and violence. Evidence shows guided activities in closely-knit group settings can reduce their negative impacts. Faithful Few programs are designed to harness and redirect youthful energy toward productive living free of violence.
