The program also includes a 3-on-3 Tournament, 3 Point Shootout, Dunk Contest, Skills Challenge, End of Season Hike & BBQ, Shooting Clinic, and Ball Handling Clinic.
Since 2013, Empower ME Academy has been celebrating 12 years of its work, with a stated impact since that year. Its mission is to change the youth sports narrative by cultivating compassionate leaders and by raising the expectations of youth sports through high quality coaching and mentorship, innovation, modeling values, and raising the standards of human service. The program states that it teaches all essential basketball fundamentals along with leadership skills that go beyond the court, describing itself as a place where top-class leadership meets high-level basketball development. Empower ME Academy highlights that it develops leaders and notes that dreams should not have a price tag, with 30% of its students receiving tuition assistance.
The program describes a festival connected to its activities as a place where individuals, families, and communities come together with food, fun, and music, along with on- and off-court events and activities, including a lowered hoop dunk contest and three guaranteed games. One parent testimonial states that Empower ME Academy has been transformational for their daughter compared with her school and AAU basketball experiences, and notes that Jerome and his team teach much more than basketball. Another testimonial from a former student named Emily mentions that mental health has played a key role in her journey to Morgan State (Division 1) and connects this to the mindset, resilience, and self-awareness emphasized at Empower ME Academy. The program also notes that 30% of its students receive tuition assistance thanks to supporters, and that every gift supports access, equity, and future leaders, and it invites families to join a community event on Asian Heritage Night at a Golden State Valkyries vs. Los Angeles Sparks Commissioner’s Cup game.
