Episode Details

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into an inspiring initiative by the Carlos Slim Foundation and Acceso Latino, which is poised to make a significant impact on the youth and families in Phoenix. This weekend, they are launching a free two-day youth basketball clinic, which aims to go beyond sports by offering valuable resources for the entire community. The event, open to all Valley youth aged 8 to 17, will take place at the Jerry Colangelo Branch of Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley. With limited spots available, registration is required to participate in this enriching experience.

The clinic is a collaborative effort involving Acceso Latino, Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley, ESPN, Chicanos Por La Causa, and Helios Education Foundation, with strategic coordination by Intermestic Partners. While young participants engage in skill-building drills and games, the event also extends its positive impact to parents by providing free on-site computer lab training and access to digital tools, legal guidance, and employment resources. This initiative underscores the commitment to developing the whole athlete through family engagement and community support.
