Lawrence Irvin Neighborhood Center

Youth Basketball and Mentoring Programming Our basketball coaches and supervisors serve as role models and mentors.

We promote the importance of education and healthy lifestyles, as well as the dangers of gang and drug involvement. Program leaders stay in contact with teachers and encourage behavior that helps students be successful on the basketball court, at school and in life. Individual successes are reflected in those that stay in school and make a postive contribution to the community. Collectively, our community benefits from reduced levels of gang-related violence and drug crime.
