How We Stay Konnected

"Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me,"

(John 15:4).

2. Core Programming

These initiatives are the cornerstone of K2K’s mission to empower youth.

K2K Stars Basketball Team

With the K2K Stars Basketball Team we promote a "Star" mentality to elevate the standards and mindset of children, encouraging them to reach beyond their immediate circumstances. Stars illuminate dark spaces, and through mentoring, coaching, parenting, and ministering, we can collectively overcome societal stigma and challenges. Our approach emphasizes a connection to a Higher Source-Jesus Christ-who provides strength and guidance. By instilling Biblical principles, we aim to help individuals use these as a foundation to strive for greatness in every aspect of their lives. While sports can serve as a platform for promoting excellence, our goal is to create transformative moments that inspire individuals to live life to the fullest. Choosing to become a "Star" is a mutual commitment between parents and children, affirming that God intentionally created a sky filled with shining stars. We also seek to connect with like-minded organizations to foster a holistic approach, ensuring that our future stars have access to enriching experiences as players, students, and individuals beyond sports and school. Together, we can cultivate an environment that uplifts and empowers the next generation.

Konnect UP

Konnect UP is a youth program for individuals aged 13 and older, designed to provide guidance and support during the critical transition into adulthood. The program empowers young people to develop a strong sense of direction, cultivate essential decision-making skills, and build healthy relationships.

Through workshops, mentorships, and interactive activities, participants explore their identities, discover their passions, and learn to make informed choices. With the right support, we believe our youth can thrive, overcome challenges, and become confident, responsible leaders in their communities.
