Building Bridges Through Basketball (BBTB) is a youth program, developed in partnership with RISE, underarmour, and NBA, that brings together middle and high school students with local law enforcement to break barriers, build trust, and create pathways for positive communication. As BBTB Charlotte wraps up on June 21 and BBTB LA approaches, we're celebrating the incredible impact of this program around the country. Since 2017, we've been building stronger connections between youth and law enforcement. The results speak for themselves: 19% increase in youth trust in police, 94% of officers recognize youth as community leaders, and over 1,700 participants across 13 regions and 102 programs nationwide. When we create spaces for authentic dialogue and mutual respect, we build the foundation for lasting positive change. #RISEtoWin #BridgingTheGap #CommunityChange #YouthLeadership #SocialJustice jrnba
