Leadership Overcomes Violence Everywhere: That’s what Carver’s L.O.V.E. Unit stands for. Led by Tremain Gilmore, Carver Teen Center Director and Co-Executive Director of Ej's H.E.A.R.T. Inc, L.O.V.E. Unit provided free basketball training and mentorship in Norwalk this summer, giving children the opportunity to learn one-on-one with local professional basketball players in a supportive, empowering community environment.
The mobile L.O.V.E. Unit coordinates with Mo’s Summer Run program at the Carver Community Center to build inclusive communities of support and encouragement, giving children and youth positive role models to help them develop their basketball skills and confidence character as well. Mo’s Summer Run teaches participants the basics of basketball, strengthens their athletic abilities, and builds their teamwork and leadership skills. Youth are provided with rewarding activities and experiences in a safe, inclusive environment surrounded by friends and mentors.
