In addition to playing on a team sport offered at the center, all young people will be required to improve their GPA to at least a 3.0 and to lead a community improvement effort through an array of partners at the center dedicated to their social, emotional, and academic growth. Students and teams will come primarily through Law Academy, the small high schools at Osborn and Detroit PAL. For more information, please see: www.mitchalbom.com.
