Handlelife Cares

Handlelife Cares Corp, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, annually serves hundreds of youth in South Florida from under-resourced communities. Through leveraging basketball as a tool for developing life skills, confidence, and knowledge, Handlelife Cares focuses on fostering both professional and personal growth. By providing a safe space for youth aged 4-18 to embrace failure, teamwork, healthy habits, exercise, patience, hard work, leadership, determination, discipline, future planning, and fun, our programs instill core values that empower individuals to successfully navigate life's challenges.

In a world where talent is widespread but opportunity is not equally distributed, especially in communities where athletic achievement has historically been a means of advancement, Handlelife Cares recognizes the evolving landscape of basketball training and development. As access to training at a young age comes at a financial cost, creating additional barriers for youth in underserved communities, we understand the importance of our mission in nurturing essential intangible skills that will support our students both on and off the basketball court. Through our work, we aim to promote equality, equity, and social change within our underserved communities, guiding Handlelife youth to recognize and seize opportunities for personal growth and success.
