Communication, Decision Making, and Goal Setting

TRANSFORMATION50 Basketball and Life Skills Camp and Summer Girls’ Life Academy Memphis (GLAM) Camp both focus on these three fundamental life skills which are the foundation for building a successful, happy, healthy and well-rounded life. Thanks to community support and business partnerships, these camps are free and some of our participants are actually paid to attend during the summer.

TRANSFORMATION50 is the camp for boys offered each summer to 50 young men in the Memphis area. Supported by professional athletes, local and national partners, this camp offers boys ages 11 – 15 exploratory field trips, interactive social skills sessions, and basketball clinics.

Summer GLAM is the camp for girls offered to 25 young ladies. Participants apply with and are employed by MPLOY, the City of Memphis’ Summer Youth Employment program, to be considered for this camp. Young ladies hired, participate in a six-week camp experience. Harnessing local government, business, and professional resources, Summer GLAM puts girls face-to-face with everyday adult responsibilities and provides them decision-making tools. With the support of community businesses and professionals, participants receive good information, grow in confidence and leave better prepared for the next phase of life.
