A LITTLE ABOUT US
Our Story
SRP is a 100% non profit organization (tax ID# 75-2989195). It has been specializing in sports management and service for nearly 10 years. The program began with a few kids wanting to go to sporting events, followed by several programs to assist the community. It has helped numerous kids attend collegiate and professional sporting events.
The programs unique approach included a system that was developed through years of research and personal experience. SRP has a gift for connecting with kids of all backgrounds. They respond almost immediately. SRP can teach the youth of today what they need to know to be effective members of society. SRP will also make sure they have a chance to apply what they are learning throughout the process.
This year thousands of Los Angeles Youth will be affected by teen pregnancy, drug abuse, crime and other obstacles. The Sports Resource Program (SRP), a non-profit organization , was created to offer an innovative, hands-on approach to help at-risk kids develop self-esteem, build a network of peer support and avoid negative behaviors. SRP enhances the lives of youth ages 8-17 by providing recreational opportunities (including clinics, seminars, outfitting,) as well as mentoring to kids whom need positive direction.
SRP has developed several programs, each designed to achieve specific results.
Our approach is not one size fits all.

GOALS
To help low income and at risk develop and improve specific skills which will enhance their self esteem and confidence. To provide a safe and fun atmosphere for kids to build their peer network and benefit from the cooperation and spirit of organized activities. To provide guidance and personal support through mentoring relationships.
SPORTS RELATED
Sports related activities are a highly effective tool with which to achieve these goals. By reinforcing concepts that are applicable to life, such as the necessity to follow rules, the benefits of being a team player and the value of healthy competition, SRP helps kids gain lasting life skills. In addition, SRP provides safe non-threatening environments in which teens can discuss sensitive topics with caring adults and peers.
ADDITIONAL NOTE
One of the key components of our overall package of services are the "Sporting Events". SRP started these events with 10 complimentary tickets to a professional basketball game. Going to a professional game can now be considered a luxury for the average fan and SRP wanted kids to realize their dreams of becoming college athletes and scholars. These kids were referred by the families and friends as well as recruited in conjunction with local youth directors who recognized the need for structure in these young lives. Additionally, we now have over 1,500 kids who have attended a collegiate or professional sporting event.
