BRIEF HISTORY
The Way to Win established its non-profit organization on October 29, 1999. Contributions support our leadership program that enables girls to participate in our spring/summer and fall programs.

PROJECT GOALS
Our goal is to instill and develop core values that develop life skills. We emphasize self-discipline, leadership, teamwork, education and community service.

Since 1999, 4th-12th grade females and even some males have participated in 3-4 month developmental training programs. Individuals must maintain a 3.0 GPA and complete weekly commitments: attend two trainings, complete two outside self-motivated trainings and perform community service work.

OBJECTIVES
We build character, develop personal and team skills through training and competition in our classroom, the basketball court. Leadership and communications tools are instilled. Participants complete a weekly community service project. They learn how to win and lose, how to support each other in loss.

"Success" encompasses tangible short-term improvements in: self-confidence, self-discipline, respect of self and others and teamwork. Long-term improvements include: achieving higher education goals and determining and achieving their objective to become successful individuals in our community

PROJECT FUNDING
The investment per participant is $5,000 to $10,000. Typically, only those children from the best financial backgrounds are able to seize the opportunity to participate. Unlike other programs, we focus on developing core values and leadership qualities.
