Break the Cycle Sports Program

 

 

Break the Cycle, East San Gabriel and Pomona Valley, CA

This program targets youth who are at-risk for poverty, academic failure, and crime. The program engages children through sports such as soccer and teaches them socially appropriate character development and social skills by learning how to play sports. The main emphasis is sportsmanship and fundamental skills.

We also teach the youth social skills by exposing them to social activities such as going on field trips (museum, beach, and our homes). We achieve this via a positive point system and mentoring them on a one to one or group basis depending on their specific program or age level. We are currently working with 15-20 kids. We look forward to expanding this program to reach an additional 150 youth as funds become available here.
