Books & Basketball

In the spring of 2010  Mateen partnered with The Boys & Girls Club to launch Books & Basketball Program, a Youth Book Club. Designed to encourage kids ages 7-15 years-old, the program strengthens reading and comprehensive skills, especially among non-readers, and by utilizing a combination of special incentives and rewards. Once a month Mateen or a special guest lead the kids in group discussion about the books and share knowledge to help inspire kids to dream big!
