Basketball Mentorship
Rising Above Daily and Vancouver Elite Outreach are partnering to provide mentorship through basketball training at Grace Foursquare church in Camas for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.
Come get high-quality basketball training, personal growth, time to play games, dinner included, and a message from the Word of God.
We are blessed to have NW Premier Basketball Trainer Matthew Young as our Basketball Mentor Coach!
"I am here as your mentor that has been in the shoes you are standing in, and for those struggles that I have not yet encountered let me understand and lets us work together and open up all of our blind sides. I am here to listen, I am here to help kids know their identity to help shorten categories out in the world let us change: The HURT < LOVE. The JUDGMENT < FRIENDSHIP. The PUT DOWNS < ENCOURAGMENT. The DISRESPECT < RESPECTING ONE ANOTHER. We are in charge of our attitudes. Our future is the children. So, HELP US HELP THEM.
The focus of the program is to meet the youth right where they are at. We want mentors who have either walked in their shoes or ones who are able to understand where the youth are coming from. Providing an atmosphere that the youth feel secure in working with the mentors and safe in expressing themselves. This part of the program is called “open up your blind side”. It is specifically designed to create an environment where the individual strives to be the best version of themselves."
