ABOUT US

Moms of Ballers (MOB) is an organization established to better lives in urban communities, creating opportunities for our diverse youth to become successful members of society. There is a niche that is needed to save generations of young boys and girls throughout New York City and New Jersey. The need for change is unquestionable. The crime rate in urban areas is woefully increasing, losing our youth to the streets because of a lack of parental support and the support from the people in our communities.

The ultimate goal is to help bring the crime rate down and graduation percentages up by building/opening community centers in identified communities/districts, creating a safe, inclusive learning environment that will sustain growth. We want to provide a place for children to go, children who are struggling in school, at home, or intertwined with the juvenile court system. The strategy is to keep them so busy that there’s no time to get into any harm or trouble.

"My purpose in life is to give back to communities where I live and work. It indeed takes a village to succeed in life, and my legacy will show that I was a part of many villages. Nothing will divert me from my purpose"

Nicole Downs-Todd, CEO

“Been raising babies since I was a baby. When there's a significant age difference between siblings. The oldest just assumes a mother role. I'm just a mother by birth rite. Thank you @momsofballers for the opportunities and for what you do for the community. Back to school backpack was everything”
