We made this for you
We're huge on relationships at 3T. That's why we had to break up with our old website and build a new one! We wanted to better inform you about Triple Threat Mentoring and make it easier for you to get involved and make a difference.
One of the biggest changes is our website is now mobile-friendly. So you can read the latest 3T news, browse our programs or fill out a volunteer form all from your phone or tablet. Rad, huh? 
Check out some of the new features below, and take a look for yourself. Holler at us if you have any feedback or suggestions for what you'd like to see! 
Some new features
Mobile first
No matter what device, if you go to triplethreat.org, you'll be able to read our content and fill out our forms. Check out the volunteer form to see it in action.
Programs page
Our new programs page has the most up-to-date info about all things 3T. Each program has its own page with details, a map, and the latest pics! 
Photos. Now. 
Our photos page instantly pulls in the latest photos from our Facebook page. Go see if there are some cool shots of you in a program or event! 
3T takes flight with Brand Jordan at NikeTown
What can we say... our partners ROCK! The Jordan Brand crew in Chicago brought the 3T crew out to its  #TakeFlightChi event on Saturday to watch NBA All Star activities.
We brought along about 15 youth from Triple Threat programming and the Quad County Urban League. Not only did we get to lounge around and throw down some good food while watching the All-Star game on some ginormous TVs, but we also got an exclusive look at the complete game-worn Jordan shoe collection.

3T a finalist for tech award!

We're really stoked to announce we're one of three finalists for the 2014 Lumity Technology Leadership Award!
We'll be making our project presentation to judges on Friday about our customization of Podio to help us save time and better focus on our mission. The first place winner receives a $5,000 grant, so wish us luck! 
Stay tuned to our Facebook page, and we'll let you know how it goes! 
Your passion. Your legacy. 
Dont' let this weather freeze your passion! Bring it to Triple Threat and sign up to be a volunteer!
Our Spring 2014 programs are just now getting underway, but it's not too late to get plugged in as a volunteer! Check out our calendar to see what programs are coming up! We're also still looking for volunteers for our District 131 Volleyball Camp from March 24-March 28th. So let us know if you want to spend your Spring Break spikin' some balls! 
As we grow as an organization, we need more of YOU! We're all about helping volunteers share their passion with at-risk youth, and it's that time of year where we're gearing up for another semester of rad programs. 
Bringing the AWESOME
We have to give a tardy, but well-deserved shoutout to the crew at Columbia College in the Social Change in Communication class!
Triple Threat served as their class project while they spent a semester developing strategic communication plans for us! Not only was it a cool experience, but we were stoked to see a group of young people so passionate about making a difference in the world. Their work really blew us away!
Could your college class partner with Triple Threat? If so, drop us a line

YOU can be the influence

I get to hear cool stories of life impact all the time around here at Triple Threat and I wanted to share a quick one with you.

One of our directors here at 3T told me he ran into a young man that was in one of our programs years ago. We were recruiting at an alternative school for a field trip, when the student told our staff member a cool story. 

Years ago, the student had dropped out of school. But then he got involved in our Bicycle Repair Program (BiRP!). He still has his bike and told us he met so many nice peeps in the program — and that experience helped him decide to go back to school. All this was just from one program!

I got to hang with this student at a Jordan Brand event on Saturday (read about that below). I was so impressed by him. He said he still even rocks the 3T gear all these years later. I invited him to volunteer at our next basketball camp and he was super excited to help and give back to the younger kids in the neighborhood!

As you consider what to fill your days with, never underestimate your power to influence. I believe there are young people in the neighborhoods we serve that are just waiting to meet and be inspired by YOU!

So check our new website out and fill out our volunteer form today!

For you, it might just be an afternoon playing a sport you love or an 8-week program. But for a kid, it can change their life’s path.
