Keeping TABs on our Children and Youth
Keeping TABs is a structured comprehensive program offered to children and youth, working alongside parents, school and community to provide mentorship, supplementary educational and athletic opportunities to help children and youth define and reach their goals. Our focus is on empowering the young generation by giving them access to the much-needed resources and support. Mentoring through athletics will help children and youth develop character and the fundamental life skills needed to excel in society.
The Teach and Ball mentorship program is dedicated to the development and advancement of children and youth. We aim to provide the young generation with the opportunity to develop academically, socially and professionally with the support of the community and mentors. The relationship developed through mentorship will be a key relationship in a child and/or youth’s life and one that has the potential to significantly impact the life trajectory of a child and/or youth.

Our goal is to provide supportive partnerships (relationships) that are mutually beneficial for our children and youth and mentors to continue to learn and grow to enhance overall personal and professional development. For mentors, it is an opportunity to give back to the youth by helping to develop and retain new talents from past experiences and new knowledge. For mentees, it is an opportunity to make new connections while adding additional traits, learn from mentors and gain skills to help them advance their personal and professional development.
