| Jamestown Jackals players and coaches serve as mentors to youth in the community ages 12-18. The program typically takes place in the evenings and weekends outside of regular school hours. |
| The overall program occurs on a year-round basis with occasional breaks as well as unique events and program design dependent on time of year. The length of time for individual youth is open ended dependent on individual needs and potential of impact from participation. |
Each one of us has a story, a path we have traveled in life to get to our current locations. #IntegrityFirst believes that these experiences influence the people we are today. By sharing our personal stories, we at #IntegrityFirst can motivate others to reach their full potential. Our personal stories teach life lessons, while also helping build those connections to truly reach individuals and motivate them to be all that they can be. The Jamestown Jackals professional basketball players will serve as mentors that prioritize building connections with youth, with an underlying message that encourages positive lifestyle choices. The Jackals players will provide mentees the opportunity to be involved in something bigger than themselves, something to look forward to, and something to take pride in while developing a sense of belonging.
