PROGRAMS
HUSTLE UP
“Hustle Up” introduces Social and Emotional Learning(SEL)-centered activities using sports-based simulated scenarios. Students have the opportunity to learn self-awareness and self-regulation techniques to manage their emotions both on and off the field/court. During this 1 year program students attend sessions on financial empowerment, time management, media training, Name Image and Likeness (NIL), and introduction to branding.
"Programs like the Hustlers Guild help prepare more youth of color to enter STEAM disciplines and thrive there. By supporting the Hustlers Guild, we will be making a lifelong difference in the lives of students and families."
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)

THE INSPIRATION
Individual members of The Hustlers Guild have been active in our respective communities for years. The organization was formed because we believed our collective voice would garner a larger social impact than continuing independently. In addition, HG trains and hosts professional development seminars for teachers and administrators on the importance of integrating a diverse and inclusive curriculum.
