About This Cause
SpringSpirit’s mission is to provide safe pathways for youth to realize life opportunities through sports, education and mentoring programs that are based on Christian principles. We do this by creating positive mentoring relationships between caring staff and volunteers, the education systems, and youth and their families through baseball, softball, soccer, educational and community programs. Our Vison SpringSpirit's vision is to transform a challenged community in Spring Branch, Texas, arresting and reversing the cycle of poverty and low expectations that plagues many in this dynamic area. Participants are in relationship with positive role models, coaches, and mentors who walk with them through life, and expose them to possibilities outside of their immediate neighborhood through summer camps, and visits to workplaces and college campuses. Who We Serve Within a 1.5-mile radius of the SpringSpirit Youth Sports and Education Complex, there are 4,000 children under the age of 12. Data from the six local elementary schools shows indicate that 95.55% are minority, 88.35% are on the free/reduced lunch program; 72.12% come from a home where English language proficiency is limited and 81.07% are categorized by Spring Branch ISD as at-risk (of not graduating from high school). Facilities and Community Participation The SpringSpirit Sports and Education complex is nestled amongst several high-density apartment complexes and houses a multi-purpose Community Center, a high school-size artificial turf baseball/multi-purpose field, a Little League-size grass baseball field, a multi-purpose circle, a playground, and batting cages. Through our programs on these facilities, we reached 1100 kids last academic year who came out at least once a week for enrichment and formation. Programming – Body, Mind, and Soul Our model is a holistic one, designed to produce a well-rounded child, and enriches body, mind, and soul. We help our youth with their schoolwork and academic progress, walk with them through their moral journeys, and teach the value of active lifestyles and honing sporting and athletic skills. All of this is undergirded by, and accomplished because of, caring mentors.
