Projects and Schedule:

Courage and Grit will carry out its mission in a few ways:

Offer basketball coaching and leadership training sessions to youth who currently participate in a nonprofit program. We will partner with existing organizations who are already doing exemplary work for our targeted demographic groups and are meeting their youth’s basic needs. Courage and Grit will then provide “life enhancement” elements in a safe environment by teaching young people the importance of Lance’s defined vision traits.
Provide a leadership development session to students at select schools and nonprofits who serve our targeted demographics.
Run basketball camps in Salt Lake City during school year recesses when underserved youth and their families often struggle to find affordable activities; we will utilize the youth’s down time for productive efforts. Each of the 4 camp sessions will host up to 20 kids in this first year, and will be 3 days long for a total of 12 days. We will maintain constant communication and education throughout the entire year .

Anticipated 2021 Camps Calendar:

Spring: Spring Break

Summer: June or July, following release of school year for summer.

Fall: AAU Weekend

Winter: Christmas/Winter Break

Perhaps its best noted that Courage and Grit is truly a leadership and mentoring program disguised as a sports program.
