Saturday Hoops

Saturday Hoops is a growing group of friends and kids who meet on Saturday from 11am to 1pm for some fun, faith, and positive role modeling. Our goal is to make our kids feel loved, important, and confident. Volunteers connect one-on-one with kids through a variety of activities, such as: Arts and crafts Basketball Weekly speakers Circuit training Reading Yoga Our time together is fueled by a healthy breakfast, lunch, and snacks provided by our program partners. Saturday Hoops strives to help improve our kids’ outlook on life and themselves by inspiring them to try new things and make new friends. Here are the things our volunteers do to achieve these goals: We Build Positivity We establish a positive environment, starting with morning devotion and ending with an encouraging message and lunch. Living out our themes of Cheerful Givers, Hard Workers, Overcomers, and Good Stewards is ingrained in everything we do. We count on community partners to make this happen. We Connect With Each Kid Our goal is to build self-esteem in each child through interactions with volunteers so that they grow to be confident and feel valued. Throughout the morning, there is time built in to encourage conversations between kids and volunteers. We Have Fun Together We do a variety of creative, instructional, and physical activities meant to stimulate, engage, model cooperation, and most of all, have fun!
