COMMUNITY & SCHOOL PROGRAMMING

We specialize in three categories of programming.

  • Sports

  • Arts

  • Wellness

La Familia Sports

Our Sports program is where we started. Headed by the Founder of LFP, Vidal is passionate about sports which is why this has become our most robust category. It all started with our Boxing Club and throughout the past two years we have expanded to Soccer and Chess. Basketball is next to launch and we are growing more in this category every year so look out for what is next!

What makes us different from other sports programming vendors?

We believe in quality over quantity. That means no more than 20 students to a class with highly experienced instructors and our standard is practiced and consistent co-teaching. What makes us special is we stand by our motto “Healthy Body, Healthy Mind.” We always advocate for paring all of our programming with either our Mental Health and Wellness Services run by qualified Mental Health and Wellness practitioners or to partner our programming with your own Mental Health and Wellness programming.

La Familia Arts

Inspired by the youth who “Don’t have time to dream…” in New York City LFA launched in 2023 by our Co-Founder Javana. Our Arts Program is starting with one of our home sites Queens Community Justice Center in collaboration with their Coming Home Program working with youth and young Adults who have been affected by gun and gang violence and is expanding to schools for the upcoming school year.

What makes our Arts Programming different?

Named the “Freedom Arts Program” it is a restorative program for young people in underserved communities throughout the NY area to reclaim their voice and their space through a multidisciplinary curriculum and structure. The program provides free arts programming through our partnerships that allows young folks to take ownership of their artistic abilities and claim and name that they are artist’s RIGHT NOW! The multidisciplinary structure was implemented to help develop their artistic instrument and ensure exposure to multiple mediums of artistic expression as they explore their artistic voice and dare to dream.

La Familia Wellness

Launching for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, our Wellness program is here to change how we do after school and community programming.

Combining our sports programming we will be implementing a 6 to 12 month programming for Middle School and up to Young Adults exploring Wellness from every potential angle. We will explore what it means to develop a healthy body and healthy mind with each session exploring a new topic on wellness. From Mental Health to sustainability, fitness and body positivity, hygiene, community, nutrition, self-care, and beyond. We are diving deep, shifting minds, and building the freedom future we all seek. More info coming soon.
