“Through the programs offered, disadvantaged children work hard, play hard and learn important skills, but probably the most important thing they learn is that they can be winners participating in the American dream,” said Schwarzenegger. “These programs offer kids the opportunity to be mentored by caring professionals, to be provided the extra help, understanding and respect that builds self-esteem, and to enable them to say ‘yes’ to hope, learning and life.” |
ICGF (Inner-City Games Foundation) is a foundation that began in Los Angeles in 1991. It is now in 15 different cities and helps over half a million young kids (ages 7-13).
