About:
Rising Stars Youth Foundation is a non-profit youth empowerment and basketball organization, which uses basketball as a conduit to education with a 20 year+ history of helping kids achieve their goals. We offer community service opportunities, academic mentoring, high school and college admissions support as well as scholarships for our kids to attend private high schools in across the NY area. We also require our scholars to complete 10 hours of community service work. Our scholarship program offers so much more than just tuition assistance, as we work with students and families to provide a robust support system to promote academic success with the goal of college and career readiness.
