Youth Can

Program YOUTH CAN was developed from the "Basketball Power" program which was thought out by Peter Kazickas, funded by the Kazickas Family Foundation and borrowed from NBA Cares and the Hoops4Hope program in Zimbabwe in 2015.

 

The primary goal of the program is to inspire and motivate youth of Lithuania, to teach them life skills and to show that they can dream. It is accomplished by using various sports (basketball, football, volleyball, frisby). YOUTH CAN is carried out using a model of Hoops4Hope from Zimbabwe, which was adapted for Lithuanians youth to work on such issus as bullying, alcoholism, suicide, trafficking in human beings, etc.

 

Our mission

YOUTH CAN mission is to provide Lithuanian youth with opportunities to be active, learn, and grow. We use the power of teams to coach, teach, inspire and motivate youth to recognize their potential and realize that they CAN accomplish anything they put their mind to. Children are taught to appreciate teamwork, develop confidence, respect others and resolve conflicts, recognize dangerous situations, and, of course, to make friends.

 

We aim to

  • Educate children about their rights and responsibilities.
  • Inform about prevention of child abuse and promote information about it.
  • Improve employee skills that directly or indirectly interact with project participants.
  • Provide a friendly environment to project participants that encourage them to develop their skills.
  • Form an environment where children can feel free
  • Increase physical activity in remote areas of Lithuania.
  • Give the positive influence of sport on the lives of young people.
  • Encourage children to show themselves as much as possible, to use their talents, to be motivated and to seek the best possible results not only in sports but in their personal lives.

 

Our Values

  • Self – esteem

We emphasize the importance of our self-esteem we strive to make everyone feel unique and able to change ourselves and our environment in the world.

  • Empathy

We encourage compassion and care for others. We appreciate the ability to understand the differences and similarities between feelings and emotions in another person.

  • Responsibility

We try to emphasize taking responsibility for actions and not to blame others for the actions they have taken.

  • Persistence

We encourage people to focus on goals and develop a plan with the necessary steps to achieve their desired goals. Persistence is an important qualitative self-stroke toward the goal of preventing a child from failing to succeed.

  • Honesty

We encourage individuals to be open to themselves and with others.

  • Sense of humor

Encourage joy and laugh, a good mood in all the activities that children do.
