Beat the Streets Providence is a local non-profit committed to inspiring urban youth for success
in school and life through the vehicle of co-educational wrestling. We use our program as a hook
to draw at-risk students into a positive after-school environment where they receive mandatory
academic support, connect to strong mentors, engage in healthy physical activity, learn about nutrition and general health, and incentives to attend and succeed in school.
