RECKLEAGUE

About

ReckLeague is a 501c3, operating in Norfolk, VA. We endeavor to create and implement continuous learning programs for underperforming schools in Hampton Roads (especially the city of Norfolk). Our programs look to serve school aged children (ages 8-15) with a combination athletics, formal education support and behaviors modification via our T.R.A.I.N (Targeted Redirection of Anger Issues in Neighborhoods) initiative. We aim to educate and empower program participants with skills that will improve quality of life; with the hope that they these concepts will get carried back to their respective neighborhoods.

T.R.A.I.N ACADEMY

ReckLeague in partnership with selected schools from the Norfolk Public Schools district, introduce our T.R.A.I.N Academy program. This program is designed to provide designated male students with mentors that will take interest in their daily lives; provide monthly counseling sessions and group counseling events. Our initial pilot will consist of 10-15 students that are ready to be engaged.

In addition to program features, we will provide snacks, guest speakers and community & informative events. The end goal of our mentoring program will be to improve each child academically, socially and/or personally; all while improving future generations. The target demographic for T.R.A.I.N Academy participants will consist of students from underserved & low-income households
