This drop in basketball program is an extension of the Mentorship and Leadership program, Africa Centre’s Basketball program enlists the partnerships and assistance of notable coaches that model positive, responsible behaviour while engaging youth in recreational skills development. We capitalize on positive peer influence formed through collective recreational engagement.

Using the developmental assets model and the protective factors/resiliency framework, we created an activity that moves away from a “fun and games” approach to one that includes supplying the supports and opportunities necessary to enable youth to thrive in the community. Our intent is to enhance youth skills and assets. In addition, we favor a more structured approach to increase the intensity and impact of our program.
