BAM – Sports is a school-based counseling, mentoring, violence prevention and educational enrichment program that promotes social-emotional and behavioral competencies in at-risk male youth. The BAM-Sports curriculum employs small group cognitive-behavioral therapy methods and non-traditional sports to address the six core values: integrity, accountability, self-determination, positive anger expression, visionary goal-setting and respect for womanhood as each value relates to personal and academic success.

We have had the pleasure of partnering with Youth Guidance (YG) in delivering the BAM-Sports program since 2009. The program operates on an evidence-based practice evaluated by a randomized, controlled experimental design by the University of Chicago-Crime Lab. We have seen the impact the program can have on the youth of Chicago's public schools in some of the city's most at-risk neighborhoods and are thrilled to nominate the great work of the BAM curriculum and look forward to continue to work with YG for BAM-Sports Edition. http://crimelab.uchicago.edu/page/Winning-Entry-BAM-Sports-Edition
