Back to the Basics (B2TB) is a nonprofit corporation established in 2016 for charitable and educational purpose. Back to the Basics aims to provide outreach and interruption services to help reduce gun violence and support Chicagoans who are high-risk to become perpetrators or victims of gun violence. It is designed to provide year-round opportunities in sports such as basketball, indoor fitness, and swimming to youth in inner-city communities. Back to the Basics also intentionally aims at serving the social and emotional needs of students with learning and physical abilities different from the general student population. B2TB specifically meets the needs of local schools' lack of resources to provide recreational and physical education activities to students by forgoing partnerships with schools to provide these activities at minimum monthly, year-round, and after-school. It utilizes trained volunteers to guide, mentor, instruct, coach and support youth participants in these sport and recreational activities. Back 2 the Basics is a community organization designed to teach young men and women how to thrive for the future, by making good decisions presently. We want them to believe they can have a chance at life. Our core goal is to build solid foundational leaders by channeling community service programs that are effective and address social, cultural, education, job readiness, and recreational needs. Back 2 the Basics (B2TB) serves as a resource, advocate, expert and provider of quality coaching, mentoring and teaching
