Team Prime Time
Team Prime Time
Founded in 2001, Team Prime Time's mission is to create intervention programs for at risk youth from low-income areas of Los Angeles that combine academics, athletics, and leadership training in order to prepare them for the future and allow them to reach their full potential. The Team Prime Time after-school pilot-program was launched in the spring of 2001 with 24 kids at Daniel Webster Middle School. Due to the success of the students and tremendous support from the community, the program now operates at three locations and serves over 500 students.
In addition, the creation of the PRIME TIME GAMES, a full-inclusion, peer mentor sports program wherein the TPT students coach, mentor and play alongside student-athletes with developmental disabilities, has paved the way for over 250 athletes, ages 5-17, to join Team Prime Time.
Thanks in large part to the generosity of the Ladies of SHARE, over 700 at-risk youth will take part in TPT programming during the 2007-08 academic year.
