Every Kids Deserves To Dream
EVERY KID DESERVES TO DREAM Our Impact
For the last 6 Years, our mission has been to help youth reach their full potential through providing high quality athletic, academic, and personal development programs with an emphasis on mental fitness. We believe with the right exposure and outlets every child can truly have an equal chance to become innovators, professionals, and leaders in our society. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on donations to support our work: Athletic: Founded on the great history of Brooklyn basketball in Foster Park, where basketball legends like Sydney Green, Vinny Johnson, World B. Free, Fly Williams and many more have graced the courts, we proudly host our annual Foster Park Basketball League that attracts more than 250 youth from 4 out of 5 boroughs around NY. Academic: The classroom begins on the court but as of this year we are transitioning to indoors with the introduction of our newest program, FPS Studios. This program will allow our members to explore content creation, coding, and computer science. Development: We create opportunities for members to participate in development workshops, job trainings and personal development events. Becoming a monthly donor is the most sustainable way to support our programs! Monthly donations provide support for our work all year long, and allow us to set more ambitious, long term goals. Thank you for making our work possible and allowing our youth to imagine, believe and achieve. Scroll down for ways to give. Our $20,000 goal can’t happen without your generosity and support.
