Kick It For A Cause

More than a kickball tournament, “Kick It For A Cause” is a longstanding TROY Center tradition built around connection, community, and giving back. As a kickoff to summer, this event brings our students, families, and community members together for a day of teamwork, friendly competition, and fun while celebrating the power of community.

Truly Reviving Our Youth

Our mission is to mentor Central Valley youth, breaking down barriers to opportunity while empowering them to reach their full potential and inspiring them to impact their communities positively.

About Us

We are the bridge connecting youth & community.

The TROY Center empowers students through tailored programs, mentorship, and real-world learning opportunities designed to support academic achievement, and personal growth. With the guidance of trained mentors, youth build confidence, strengthen essential skills, and develop the tools needed to navigate challenges and succeed in their future endeavors.

Who we’re reaching.
