The mission of the Dorsey Levens Foundation is to strengthen and support inner-city youth through enhancing academic and athletic performance and the development of positive social skills. We are committed to ensuring that all youth are provided the tools and resources to be productive, responsible citizens who can contribute to the well being of society.

This is accomplished in partnership with the community, by fostering an appreciation for diversity, promoting non-violence and maximizing the positive effect that parents, schools and community-based organizations have on developing youth.
