About The Program
What we do.
All of Wake Hustle Grind's program provides participants with a holistic learning experience that combines essential mathematical skills, financial literacy, basketball fundamentals, and entrepreneurial mindset development. Through interactive sessions, practical activities, and engaging challenges, students will enhance their academic abilities, financial understanding, athletic skills, and entrepreneurial spirit.
How we elevate our children?
Individualized Attention: Recognize that each child is unique, with varying needs and abilities. Provide individualized attention and support to understand their specific challenges and strengths.
Structured Environment: Establish clear rules, routines, and expectations within the sports program. Consistent structure helps children feel more secure and organized, reducing anxiety and improving focus.
Break Tasks Into Manageable Steps: Break down sports skills and drills into smaller, manageable steps. Provide clear, step-by-step instructions and demonstrations to help children grasp and follow through with tasks more effectively.
Visual Aids and Cues: Use visual aids such as diagrams, charts, or visual schedules to reinforce instructions and expectations. Visual cues can help children with better understand and remember information, improving their engagement and participation.
Positive Reinforcement: Encourage and praise positive behavior and effort regularly. Positive reinforcement motivates children and boosts their self-esteem. Focus on small achievements and progress, celebrating successes along the way.

Getting their mind ready
Preparing young adults for the workforce involves equipping them with a combination of practical skills, knowledge, and personal attributes that are essential for success in the workplace, college, or starting their own business. Here are some key areas to focus aimed at preparing our students and young adults.
Provide opportunities for young adults to explore different career paths, understand their interests, strengths, and values, and develop a clear vision for their future careers.
Teach young adults how to search for job opportunities, write effective resumes and cover letters, prepare for interviews, and follow up with employers. We have workshops and one-on-one guidance to help them navigate on understanding what they want to be when they grow up.
