Hoops, Hope & 1 (HH&1) is a community-centered nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating hope, connection, and belonging for youth, families, and communities. We believe every child deserves to feel seen, welcomed, supported, and empowered. Through sports, creative arts, wellness, mentorship, leadership development, and community engagement, we create opportunities for young people to discover their strengths, build confidence, and explore what their ‘&1’ means to them—one more chance, one more dream, one more opportunity.

Our mission is to create experiences that strengthen relationships, develop community leaders, and inspire lasting investment in the people and places we serve. We understand that basketball is one of many ways we connect with youth, and we’re committed to providing diverse pathways for young people to grow, belong, and make a difference in their communities. Whether through our signature programs or year-round initiatives, we’re here to support every young person’s journey toward hope and belonging.
