About our Host:

Running Rebels uses basketball as the tool to engage, mentor, and guide youth towards paths that ensure their future success. Since 1980, Running Rebels has used basketball as the tool to engage, mentor, and guide youth towards paths that ensure their future success, as a response to founder Victor Barnett's experience seeing many young people of Milwaukee being pulled into the street life of gangs, crime, and violence. Running Rebels engages the community, youth, and their families; prevents involvement in gangs, drugs, violence, and the juvenile justice system; intervenes and guides youth by assisting them with making positive choices; and coaches youth through their transition into adulthood. Today, Running Rebels is a mentoring organization that serves 1,500 youth annually.
