Vision Statement

TFNCSA exists so that all youth can THRIVE

Our Mission

TFNCSA will provide a family-oriented environment where all youth we serve can develop academic, athletic, and social skills that are foundational in making sound decisions and reaching their fullest potential.

TFNCSA is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is committed to establishing an environment that incorporates the community and all of its resources to nurture and support the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical well-being of each child. Our dedication is to equip each child with information, mentoring, and support that leads to better decision making and the desires to achieve more than what their environment may display or what odds lie against them. We believe that education and opportunities can create the substance that dreams and aspirations are made of.

Specifically, TFNCSA uses sports as a "magnet" to attract children into our organization. By providing gang prevention services, educational programs, social activities, community service projects, TFNCSA is able to provide leadership, mentorship, and unite the families of each child to create a cohesive, supportive "village" structure that creates the environment that allows each child to THRIVE.

Our Team

Our dedicated team are passionate about providing consistency and leadership for each child. Each team member works tirelessly to not only achieve but exceed our goal as a charity. The only thing that is more rewarding than seeing the sustained improvement of each child educationally, behaviorally, and physically is being able to reward each child for their hard work by providing educational and social outings.

Our Programs

MORE 2 SEE/MORE 2 S👀

As a child growing up with humble beginnings, I didn’t get to go to far away from the rural area of Belews Creek, NC. It wasn’t until my elementary school took its annual 6th grade trip to Washington, DC that I realized that there was MORE 2 SEE !! After going to the Lincoln Memorial, seeing the White House, the monuments, museums, etc, my mind had a hunger for more. To SEE was to learn!

MORE 2 SEE is a program that was created to expand the minds of our youth by providing STEAM related activities that changes their environment and allows the children to SEE new people, places, and things to expand their knowledge and potentially peak new interests.

These activities include:

• Field Trips to museums and exhibits
• Field trips to Stage Plays, Musicals, concerts, sporting events, etc.
• Providing successful professionals, educators, and community leaders to speak to our youth about leadership and tools for success.
• Social activities that allow children to build confidence and explore new hobbies and interests.
• Volunteer activities that allow our youth to serve in our community.

BE THE ANSWER

To solve a problem, you must find out what caused it in the first place. We know one of the problems in our society is gang violence. One of the root causes of gang violence is fatherlessness. At The Family NC Sports Academy , we aim to do that by providing an answer for the problem. Our answer is “Life-on-Life” mentorship. We believe that in order to impact the shootings and violence, you must impact the shooters. We do that by doing “life” with young men and young women.

We’ve created a mentorship curriculum that can be instructed and implemented in the areas where children can be reached.

The curriculum can be implemented in the following areas:
1. Schools
2. After school programs
3. Church Youth Groups
4. Organizations

We offer mentorship training for:
1. Schools
2. After school programs
3. Churches
