Volunteers are awesome sauce!
You guys never cease to blow me away by sharing your passions with at-risk youth. Triple Threat would only be "ok" without you. Real talk.
But sometimes, we need more than volunteers to help run this thing. You know.... serving more than 3,000 kids a year takes a lot of planning and behind-the-scenes work! And being a nonprofit that puts 94 cents on the dollar straight back into programming for at-risk youth, we don't have bags of money laying around to hire peeps to come work full-time with us. (But if you do have extra bags of money..... you should do this)
That's why our partnership with  Up2Us is SO important to us -- their  Coach Across America program gives us the human-power to geter' done! And we're excited to announce that -- yet again! -- we've been awarded a grant that will provide Triple Threat with multiple "coaches" that can help us build our capacity and expand our mission.
Thanks to Up2Us and Americorps, Triple Threat is looking to hire two half-time coaches and one full-time coach for 2014- 2015.
What's a "coach," you say? Glad you asked. A coach is a person who uses their love of sports to make an impact in an under-resourced community. Coaches must be college aged or older and available to work 20-40 hours a week.
For the past year, our CAA coaches have been crucial to our success and growth! Alan, Emily and Dionte have rocked every athletic aspect of 3T: from  Nike SPARQ to sporting camps and clinics and running programs.... they've been DOPE! For the last 8 months they've been able to use their love of sports to make a real impact in the community. How awesome is that?!
If you want to use your love of all things athletic to serve the neighborhood, we'd love to hear from you. We can start bringing folks on board starting August 1st, so  fill out this form NOW if you're interested! DO IT.... you won't be disappointed!

QCUL + 3T = SWEETNESS!

Triple Threat teams up with Quad County Urban League for Nike SPARQ
Man, it's cool to partner with other groups out there making a difference. 
That's why we're excited to announce our upcoming partnership with Quad County Urban League. Starting on Monday, we'll be offering our Nike SPARQ program at Quad County Urban League for 10 weeks. We've had some pretty cool events with QCUL -- from hanging with Booker T to an AWESOME event with Jordan Brand -- but we're excited to get to connect weekly!
Now this is what we call Madness! 
Hundreds of kids, basketball and a hot dog costume --
now that's madness if we've ever  heard it. 
Triple Threat recently teamed up with Communities in Schools to help lead their March Madness basketball event. We had more than 500 students from 10 different schools kick it with us for the afternoon, and we had a blast!

We could go on and on describing this AWESOME event to you, but when there’s a hot dog suit involved, it might be best to check out the pics!

Big high-5s to all the volunteers who kicked it with us for the day! 
In with the new
Spring = new things. Check out some of our newest Triple Threat programs!
Our Hit The Ground Running program takes Aurora youth to the North Central College track to train with NCC athletes and students. 
Nature Unleashed is a program that we’ve partnered with the Boy Scouts of America on to explore Mother Nature and test students’ outdoor prowess. This program is capped with an overnight camping trip. 
Beyond the Canvas is our new art program where students search for their inner Michelangelo while working with acrylic paints. 
Support 3T's  Marathon Team! 
Looking for another reason to support 3T? (Or 17,000 reasons?)
A group of 5 runners from Chicago is looking for your help! Thanks to Junior Board member Mike Taylor of Adams Street Partners, 3T will be an official charity partner in this fall’s Chicago Marathon!
Our inaugural team of 5 runners is raising money for Triple Threat as part of their entry to the race. Go peep their fundraising page and help them reach their goal! 
This is why YOU rock!
You know what makes connecting with more than 3,000 at-risk youth a year cool? Dedicated volunteers who ooze awesome. Duh. 
Thanks to the 25 humans who came to our training and we're STOKED for you to start sharing your passions with at-risk youth.  Want in? (course you do!)
