Shooting Touch is an international sport-for-development organization whose mission is to use the mobilizing power of basketball to bridge health and opportunity gaps for youth and women facing racial, gender, and economic inequalities.

Founded in 2007, Shooting Touch utilizes an award winning, beneficiary driven sport-for-social-development model that invests in youth and women of color by providing increased access to physical activity and health education and interventions that encourage healthy habits and future personal development.   

Since its inception, Shooting Touch has grown from a grassroots basketball program in Boston into an international non-governmental organization that has served over 200,000+ youth and women in six different countries. Using the mobilizing power of sport and turning courts into classrooms, the organization works to achieve three critical objectives:

1. Promote equal access to physical activity

2. Increase access to health education & health services

3. Promote social change

Shooting Touch operates two signature programs simultaneously - one in Boston, MA and the other in Eastern Rwanda. Our detailed mental, physical and social health curriculum provides on- and off-court education and intervention, mentorship and empowerment towards a pathway to a better future.
