ABOUT US
THE MISSION
- J.O.U.R.N.E - Joining Others Under Righteousness Nobility Equality
Work hard, dream big! The "Vision and Effort" is to initiate the proper foundation and blueprint, needed to establish for the younger generation to achieve success in all areas of life through basketball and other various activities that challenge the mind. "Respect The Journe" or R.T.J was founded by Jamal Long and Bryan Smith in (2019) becoming an official 501(c)(3)non-profit organization. Never letting the odds, keep us from doing what we know in our hearts, we were meant to do. We started mentoring the youth and using basketball as a tool. We would instill and embody those same fundamentals on and off the court, to be utilized in the everyday walk of life. We place a strong emphasis on working hard off the court just as much as on the court. Education is such major importance for the healthy upbringing of our youth today. We want to make sure that isn’t forgotten. Being student-athletes come with a lot of responsibility. As the saying goes, “to whom much is given, much is required.” Basketball is a privilege and should be treated as such. For our program, great grades and school attendance will be held to a high standard and required. All it takes is for one soul to care enough. Our actions will speak to the identity of who we are as individuals collectively wanting to make a positive change first in our community and then communities around the world. The lesson is within the journey and the benefits of the knowledge you obtain along the way. We respect each individual's journey and we want to take those steps with you. We truly need your help to make an impact and difference in their young lives. Any donation will make a tremendous significance in turning a vision into a reality.
