Summary
Dig 4 Kids is an after school program committed to providing youth in low-income communities with increased opportunities for academic and athletic achievement.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
D4K helps the kids in low-income communities by teaching them the importance of exercising and education. The children also learn life lessons such as team work, nutrition, discipline, and how to set and obtain goals.
How will this project solve this problem?
D4K will be conducting 6 after-school programs located in Florida, Washington, and California. Through the after-school programs, we will work with over 280 kids to instill in them the importance of higher education & an active lifestyle.
Potential Long Term Impact
Kids who are taught the importance of higher education often return to their own community and become mentors to the younger generations to show them the opportunities that school opens. This formula will help each community prosper.
