PROGRAMS

MVP — Most Valuable Person — is the DSTRKT Family Foundation's year-round youth development program, built on four integrated pillars: Mentoring, Education, Health & Wellness, and Community Impact. The name reflects the program's core premise: every young person who walks through DSTRKT's doors is treated as the most valuable person in the room, developed academically, physically, socially, and civically. The program is structured to serve 75 youth ages 8–18 in its first program year, with a clear pathway to scale as funding and facility capacity grow.

A central feature of the Health & Wellness pillar is the Autism & Basketball Adaptive Sports Program, a sensory-friendly, inclusion-based basketball activity designed in partnership with certified adaptive athletics staff. It gives youth on the autism spectrum a structured, physically active, socially engaging entry point into the Foundation's broader programming, and reflects DSTRKT's commitment to serving the full range of youth in its community — including those often left out of traditional youth sports.
