About U-TURN
Since 1992, U-TURN has successfully connected youth from Richmond, VA's inner-city and suburban neighborhoods for high-performance athletic development, team competition, fellowship events and Bible-based guidance. U-TURN's goal is to develop these youth to be highly skilled athletes and community minded citizens who champion discipline, diversity, and service to others. In 2005, U-TURN provided 47,200 hours of mentoring and training to youth. Many of our youth receive full or partial scholarships to play sports in college.
Vision Statement
The vision of U-TURN is three-fold to develop youth to be highly skilled athletes while offering Christian mentoring them; to reach out and minister to at-risk youth; and to model servant leadership while offering resources to the Richmond community.
Goals
The highest goal for the Board, staff, volunteers, and program participants is to be well-grounded in biblical truth in order to live,love, and lead as Jesus did. U-TURN aims to be welcoming to all people; to connect people in transformational ways that foster racial and ethnic harmony; and to enhance through body, soul, and spirit the quality of life of every participant.
