JUNIOR BOARD & MENTOR PROGRAM
The SoBa Cares Junior Program is the heart of our mission - empowering students to lead, serve, and make an impact.
Our program is made of two key roles: Junior Board Member and our Mentors.
Our Junior Board Members and Mentors work together to plan and lead fundraising events, organize volunteer initiatives for all kids in our community, and support local youth-focused organizations. Through hands-on service and collaboration, our students develop leadership, responsibility, and teamwork skills.
At its core, the Junior Program reflects what SoBa Cares stands for: Kids helping Kids, community connection, and empowering young people to lead with heart.
We are so proud to announce the members of our 2nd term and can't wait to see what we achieve this year!

Hoops for Hope
Our first-ever Hoops for Hope event was a resounding success — and it’s all thanks to you.
From the energy on the courts to the generosity in the stands, our community came together in an incredible way to support SoBa Cares and our mission to empower youth through sports and service. With your support, we raised critical funds for After School Matters, helping to create opportunities for teens in our community.
Whether you played, volunteered, sponsored, donated, or cheered from the sidelines — your involvement made a difference.
We’re so proud of what we accomplished together and inspired by the spirit of “kids helping kids” that fueled this event from day one. A special shoutout to our Junior Board for leading the charge and showing us all what passionate young people can achieve.
Thank you again for being part of something so meaningful. We can’t wait to bring Hoops for Hope back even bigger next year!
AND A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR JUNIOR BOARD AND MENTORS FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK.
AND OF COURSE TO ALL OUR CHAMPIONS! CONGRATULATIONS!
