About Us
Be a 9th Wonder specializes in mentoring the youth by way of sports skill development, while providing life skills workshops to prepare them for adulthood.
We’ve traveled the world and want to continue to do so by reaching out to organizations and communities to help inspire their youth. We have camps, clinics, individual skill sessions, and small-group workouts for boys and girls who are looking to take their game to another level. We are not concerned about whether you are the best, we just want to help you be YOUR best.
What We Do
We provide a variety of programs and experiences for youth of all abilities and backgrounds, including children with autism and special needs:
Basketball and soccer clinics for children with special needs
Holiday toy drives and community giving events
College and career readiness programs
Youth mentorship and life skills workshops
Hair and nail makeovers through our Lift My Spirits program
Hands-on learning activities, creative workshops, and unique experiences
Our events are made possible through the support of dedicated volunteers, community partners, and professional and collegiate athletes who share their time and talents with our youth.
