First Hoops Network

www.firsthoops.org

MABC is a member of the First Hoops Network, a coalition founded in 2006, of six grassroots, volunteer-led youth basketball organizations united behind the goal of using basketball to achieve positive youth development outcomes for kids. These groups, headed up by longtime Boston residents, collectively serve over 500 of Boston’s youth annually, concentrating on the neighborhoods of Dorchester, Roxbury, Mission Hill, South Boston, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan and Hyde Park. The majority of the participants are boys and young men in the critical ages of 10-16; there is a small yet growing number of young women and girls also benefiting from FHN’s basketball as youth development programming. The goals of the First Hoops Network collaboration are to strengthen its member organizations programmatically, by improving and supporting academic and life skills programming that complements basketball skill development, and organizationally, by providing capacity building through technical support, connection to resources and sharing of best practices.
