About the program

Prevention education with a purpose

ShockTown’s YES Community Program is a free, law-enforcement-led crime prevention and youth leadership program that uses sports activities as an engagement tool to positively connect with elementary-aged youth.

  • Free for families
  • Law-enforcement led
  • Prevention education

Through structured physical activities, mentorship, prevention education, and interactive learning, participants develop leadership skills, build self-confidence, strengthen teamwork, and learn to make positive and responsible life choices.

Our goal is to provide youth with positive role models while equipping them with the knowledge, confidence, and skills needed to navigate real-life challenges and become productive members of their communities.
