FOCUS AREAS

number 1

21st Century Skills/Growth Mindset

21st-century skills like critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, along with a growth mindset, are developed through our hands-on, project-based curriculum. These skills and attitudes are also integrated into our basketball program, aligning with our classroom learning approach.

number 2

Social Emotional Learning

Inspire Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) We help students develop emotional awareness, healthy relationships, and responsible decision-making by integrating SEL into daily activities like the "weather report," team-building exercises, and our basketball program.

number 3

Health and Wellness

Promote Health and Wellness as Lifelong Habits. We support students’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being through sports, education, and mentorship, encouraging healthy lifestyles and personal growth. Our basketball activities help students build lifelong healthy habits.

number 4

Service to Others

Foster Service to Others is the act of giving time, effort, and resources to support and uplift individuals or communities in need. We aim to deepen student engagement in service through volunteer opportunities, problem-solving initiatives, and real-world applications.

Meet John Ferrara, our incredible 2026 NYC Marathon runner!John is taking on 26.2 miles to help ensure more young people have access to the life-changing opportunities that sports and mentorship provide. Here is John’s story:  “Running for 3Point in the NYC Marathon is a huge honor for me and is very close to my upbringing. Growing up on a street filled with friends who I still am close with to this day, we always pushed each other to compete through sports and other competitions. I believe every child should have the opportunity to play sports if they want because not only are they fun, but they also teach you to work hard and are a great way to foster a tight knit community. I have taken this competitive spirit with me throughout my life and am so overjoyed to be supporting a charity that also believes in the importance of engaging with the youth through physical activity and human connection. A sincere thank you to 3Point for making this possible!”Donate through the Zeffy link in our bio 🔗 #Team3Point #NYCMarathon #RunFor3Point #YouthDevelopment #SportsForGood
