Throwing and Growing
Empowering youth in Northern St. Louis through athletics, arts, education, and healthy living for a well-rounded future.
Program Overview
The Throwing and Growing Foundation serves the Northern St. Louis community with youth programs centered around an athletic success model. The program aims to smoothly translate athletic success into a blueprint for a holistically successful life.
They provide after school and summer camps, with programming that includes physical fitness (shotput and discus), music (keyboard and drum instruction), arts (drawing, sewing, crafts), and healthy living (on-site gardening, field trips, self-care and self-esteem building).
These programs enrich and extend the view of academics by offering social, educational, and recreational activities that promote the fun of learning.
The program is funded by Props S for 2025.
