Building stronger communities starts with empowering our youth! 🏡🏀✨

We are thrilled to partner with ConnCORP and the Southern New England Association of Black Journalists (SNEABJ) to promote the upcoming Back-to-School High School Basketball Tournament!

At NeighborWorks New Horizons, we believe that providing safe, positive environments for local student-athletes is key to building thriving, resilient neighborhoods.
