About Us
TeachThemYoungER, Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization comprised of motivated parents, athletes, coaches and educators. We were brought together to collaborate to provide positive support to student-athletes as well as develop leadership skills that will contribute to their overall success.
Vision
Our goal is to be one of the most active of Central Florida’s youth nonprofit organizations by promoting collaboration within our community. Our programs are a cooperative effort with parents, schools, the business community, and neighborhood residents to TeachThemYoungER to maximize their potential as members of the community.
Mission Statement
We want to use sports as a vehicle for the positive development of student-athletes where sports-learned values such as Mindfulness, Exceptionalism, Responsibility, Integrity, Teamwork, and Sportsmanship. Development of student-athletes' relationship-building skills and an advancement of their growth mindset, will enable them to take on challenges and learn from them. We want to provide meaningful opportunities to help students process their dreams into the reality of higher education success.

Fundraising Event on Jan. 18, 2020 @ Kissimmee Christian
SHOTS UP Shoot-A-Thon
Each player will collect pledges from people that want to help achieve the player’s HOOP DREAMS. These people will sign up to pay a pledged fee for each free-throw made (out of 100) free throw attempts. Once the 100 free throws have been shot and the number of made free throws is determined, the player will collect the pledge money from those who sponsored them. Remember, people can also choose to make a flat amount
