Most recently, the NBA Foundation has expanded our partnership by funding mentorship and workforce development programs, creating new opportunities for students and equipping them with essential life skills. The NBA’s ongoing commitment is providing our students with goal-oriented programs, strong role models, and positive experiences—helping them succeed in the classroom, on the court, and throughout their lives.
