The Multicultural Community Project Presents

Our churches, non-for profits and businesses have always been the

cornerstones of our communities. These organizations in our communities cannot meet some of the basic needs of their residents. Where will they turn? Churches and community organizations are struggling to stay afloat.

Gun violence is at a all time high! Our children and adults are the victims of gangs, drugs, crime and death. We are engaging the need for anti-violence, not by talking about the statistics and the problem, but instead providing a solution to the here and now issues.

In today's market the church and non- for- profits are a business. Churches, non- for profits and businesses are looking for ways to earn money to keep their programs afloat. A combination of consultation, grants, programs that will increase the bottom line and workforce development options can be the key to keeping your doors open.

In 2008, after doing basketball camps for youth for over 30 years, Craig decided to create his own basketball curriculum for basketball players of all skill levels. The goal of this curriculum is to teach the fundamentals of the game through various drills on the court. Additionally, Basketball Schools of America truly value the importance of the mental aspect of the game, and therefore we stress the importance of thinking the game as well. Our founder has a long history of community service to the youth of America, and by combining his two greatest passions, Teaching and Basketball we truly believe we can help basketball players improve their individual skill levels. Our instructors have all played at high levels of basketball, earning free college educations through the game of basketball and we enjoy helping others achieve the same and greater success!
