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!
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.
