Mission
Definition of Hardwork (DHW) is a non-profit 501C3 founded in 2008 in Norwich Ct. By facilitating conversations and action on community priorities, DHW engages partners and a network of youth and adult residents in opportunities to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. It is our mission to provide our community with programming that allows us to develop our youth to their full potential, socially, physically and mentally as well as a safe and secure environment to execute that programming.
We use sports as a tool to:
• Teach and Inspire leadership
• Prepare our youth to succeed in life
• To give back to our community and teach our youth to do the same
• Promote the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle
Vision
At DHW Athletics, we envision a future where every young athlete has the opportunity to excel not only in sports but in life. Our aspiration is to create a dynamic community center that serves as the cornerstone for nurturing, training, and mentoring the next generations of student athletes.
In this future, our state-of-the-art facility will be a hub of inspiration, featuring classrooms that foster academic excellence, a basketball court where dreams take flight, and a cutting-edge weight room where strength and character are built. Beyond the infrastructure, our dedicated team of coaches will lead transformative sports camps and programs, instilling values of teamwork, discipline, and resilience.
Our vision is more than a facility; it's a beacon of empowerment. We see a community united by the shared belief that every young individual possesses the potential for greatness. Through DHW Athletics, we aim to provide the resources, mentorship, and training that will empower these aspiring athletes to not only reach their athletic goals but to become leaders, scholars, and positive contributors to society.
Together, we are building more than a community center; we are shaping the future. A future where the echoes of teamwork reverberate through classrooms, where the bounce of a basketball symbolizes limitless possibilities, and where the clink of weights echoes the strength of character instilled in every student athlete.
Join us on this journey to uplift and inspire. Together, let's create a legacy where DHW Athletics stands as a testament to the transformative power of sports, mentorship, and community."
