Crossover Mission helps the kids who need us most become productive adults through year-round basketball training and one-to-one academic mentoring.
Our vision is to provide an affordable, year-round program for youth who otherwise would not have one. Crossover members often live in difficult family situations and are surrounded by violence and drug abuse. Crossover redirects their lives by providing structure, accountability, positive role models, and exposure to broader life experiences. The secondary purpose of Crossover Mission is to build a bridge of friendship and understanding between races and cultures, starting at a young age, which will help to erode the walls of separation which continue to divide our society.
