Our Impact
4Elite Training Academy, Inc is committed to reducing childhood obesity, improving social skills, and providing mentorship through various programs. Our primary focus are elementary school aged students but provide services to students in middle and high school. Through our programs we will help them with their physical fitness, mental health, nutrition, career goals, setting life goals, developing character, and identifying resources. We use sports and physical activity to engage with the student, as well as round table conversations so they can be heard. Why sports? Sports teach you discipline, hard-work, team-work, and leadership skills.
The Problem
Childhood Obesity
Obesity affects 20% of American Children and since the COVID-19 pandemic this number is trending up. Research has shown over the past 30 years, childhood obesity rates have tripled. Long-term this can lead to sever health problems as an adult, including type 2 diabetes, stroke, and heart disease later.
Mentoring
Destructive habits along with failures in the classroom and none conducive neighborhood environments have molded many at-risk youths to believe there are no possibilities of success that await them. In order to accomplish this goal, young people must develop a mindset of perseverance, learn to care, and encourage them to place themselves in inclusive learning environments that promote their best efforts and reinforces personal respect and self-love.
Opportunity
Our organization feels that all people need is opportunity. The problem is not all opportunities are equal in this great nation. Although we live in the land of opportunity, the inequity of education and resources plague black and brown communities across the country. Often time resources are given to schools with high test scores and high incomes of the surrounding area, leaving kids in low income areas to figure it out on there own. 4Elite Training Academy wants to give the youth of Los Angeles County the opportunity to reach their full potential. Through programs such as 4Elite Physical Fitness & SEL, Leadership Elite Mentoring, Career Path Elite, and 4Elite Robotics and Coding, we are sure to live healthy, level the playing field and close the achievement gap.
