Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Sports
Mission: Doc wayne offers youth who are burdened with lifelong challenges an innovative and therapeutic experience through the medium of team sports, based on a specifically designed therapeutic curriculum and stressing positive youth development. Often their behaviors have contributed to our participants being unwelcome in home, school, and community venues. We provide youth with the opportunity to experience both a creative and innovative therapy as well as a normal teenage experience. Doc wayne gives youth practical experiences in friendship making, positive risk-taking, conflict resolution, and other important age-appropriate skills that they would otherwise miss in their development as a person. Through our program, they learn to perceive the world as less threatening and their ability to interact with their environment becomes more empowered and they gain greater self-esteem.
Programs: There were no program service accomplishments in fiscal year 2012 as the activities and net assets of doc wayne athletic league charitable trust were transfered to doc wayne athletic league, inc. Effective july 1, 2011.
