Youth mentoring - Pitcare employees and volunteers host an open gym program for neighborhood youth and run our focus beyond the field program. We help neighborhood children set health and activity goals and coach them to their goals. Our focus beyond the field program offers strength and fitness training classes, especially for youth who want to improve their performance on the football field. These students must maintain a certain grade-point-average in order to participate in our focus program.
