YOUTH DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE

"A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself."

– Oprah Winfrey

 
 
 

Team MAGIK works to build a strong foundation of trust in the lives of our young boys and girls. We do this by:

· Collaborating with community leaders, teachers, principals, coaches, pastors and parents/guardians

· Enlisting the aid of community leaders to direct us to the children most in need

· Hosting motivational speaking engagements with big and small groups of children in schools and community centers

· Developing and implementing year-long programming which allows for consistent contact and follow up with students and families

· Collecting and recording data regarding the impact of program activities on academics, attitudes, behavior and the interactions with peers, mentors, teachers and parents

In all, we hope to build lasting relationships with the kids we serve and curate actionable experiences that inspire them to be the best people they can be while giving back to the community.

One of the simplest objects to bring a smile to a child's face is a new ball to play with

You can make a difference
Please help us put smiles on the faces of as many children as possible! 

 

We've worked with children in community centers and gyms all around the world. One thing they all have in common is the need for quality equipment for the children to play with and you can help us provide happiness, fitness, and friendship by contributing to the MAGIK Ball Drop!

Education is power Team MAGIK is a proponent of both, public and private school education. We understand that children have unique learning styles and hope to expose families to different education options. 

 

SCHOLARSHIPS

Put your money where your heart is

 
 

Sponsoring a kid for a Team MAGIK scholarship is much more than your annual charitable donation -- it is truly a life-changing action! Your generous donation of a full and/or partial scholarship gives a child, who might not otherwise have this opportunity, a chance to connect with others in similar situations; letting them know they are not alone. It also grants access to beneficial friendships, mentorship, education, sports activities and mental growth to prepare them for a lifetime of success. Donate to a cause with measurable success and tangible benefits -- sponsor a better life for a child.
