Our Mission

In direct response to the continual street violence in the greater Boston community that have left many feeling hopeless, Beantown SLAM (Sports Leagues And Mentoring) aims to actively combat those feelings of bleakness and offer positive intervention for our youth.

 

The impetus of Beantown SLAM was driven by our young people's desire to engage in sports-enriched activity, most specifically basketball in a safe and encouraging environment. We immediately recognize how sports enables us to engage our youth through healthy physical activity, as well as socially, cultivating and demonstrating their skills of leadership and collaboration.
