CurrentReck League is a community based 501(c)3 out of Norfolk, VA. providing a unique summer and after school learning program for at risk kids that attend under performing schools. We blend education and our innovative T.R.A.I.N Initiative, which stands for "Targeted Redirection of Anger Issues in Neighborhoods". The program uses training and physical fitness goals and community engagement projects to empower students to channel built-up frustration into something positive; while achieving education and behavioral goals. These programs help steer 100-300 youth toward academic and personal success, while empowering them to improve their inner city surroundings. Most of our participants come from economically deprived areas, so we seek to provide both academic and athletic stimulus as well as community/cultural enrichment through hands-on mentorship. Our approach uses diverse tactics such as intense sports training, hands-on mentoring and educational reinforcement to increase graduation rates and provide college prep. In addition, we blend cultural enrichment events and community outreach to improve their overall quality of life and help them develop better coping skills for daily living.
