D4K

For this blog I wanted to take a look at an AWESOME non profit organization called Dig 4 Kids (D4K). This is an organization that empowers kids to reach for their goals and dreams and how to work hard to achieve these. D4K also teaches them the importance of education and exercise. Their overall project includes a concept known as "Digging Education". This is the primary activity for D4K. The project combines after school tutoring and mentoring with exercise and volleyball lessons. Not only do they receive assistance with their homework but they receive life-lessons,counseling, and volleyball instruction/training for all different types of kids in all different ages, places, and socio-economic classes.
I think this is a great program because not only does it get kids excited about school and volleyball but it responds to a need of POSITIVE after school activity and keeps kids out of trouble. Any program that influences an appreciation and involvement in education, hopefully encouraging a pursuit in higher education, and a healthier lifestyle is a great program and money and time well spent.
Many USA volleyball players and AVP players help out with this organization. High school volleyball players are also a huge part of why D4K is soo successful!
