Mission
Power Forward is a Christ-centered neighborhood youth outreach program that uses basketball to connect with young men and women from local neighborhoods and beyond, providing them with guidance and resources to succeed. Each Wednesday evening, up to 40 kids & young adults arrive at Highland Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville, NC to eat a meal, listen to an inspirational speaker, pray together, and play pick-up basketball.
History
History
Our mission at Power Forward extends beyond the basketball court. We aim to cultivate an environment where young individuals not only develop their athletic skills but also their character, resilience, and faith. Through our weekly gatherings, we strive to instill values of teamwork, discipline, and respect, equipping our participants with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges with confidence and grace.
In addition to our Wednesday evening program, we also offer various workshops, mentorship opportunities, and community service projects throughout the year. These initiatives further enrich the lives of our youth, empowering them to become leaders in their communities and ambassadors of positive change.
At Power Forward, we believe in the potential of every young person, regardless of their background or circumstances. We are committed to walking alongside them on their journey, offering guidance, support, and unconditional love every step of the way. Together, we are building a brighter future, one hoop at a time.
