Midnight Basketball
The purpose of Midnight Basketball every Friday night is to offer hope where there is little; to enrich misplaced lives; and re-direct young people away from an environment of guns, drugs, and the criminal justice system. It is the signature outreach program of Hospitality House Youth Directions and aimed at 16-22 year old men.
Basketball Leagues / Kings of the Court
Five basketball teams keep our gym busy as 8-15 year olds practice and compete in In-House, Mpls Park Board League, and Kings of the Court Traveling teams. The goal of these programs is to help young men in their athletic and spiritual growth with prayer and character development as foundational components.
