Introducing the Cherry Hill Youth Development & Resource Center.
In 2021 
we started renovating The Cherry Hill Eagles Youth Development and Resource Center. The center now serves as the hub for our new programming and resource center. It is the first of its kind in the Cherry Hill community.
Before and After Photos
- Trauma Informed Coaching
- Youth Mentorship
- Leadership Development
- iChoose Youth Leadership and Values Program
These programs are available to our youth, their families, the coaches and community volunteers. We address issues beyond sports such as trauma, leadership, educational success, character development, and more.
The goal of the Cherry Hill Eagles Foundation is to minimize the negative outcomes for our youth that are typically caused by various socioeconomic factors and influences. This includes lack of access to opportunity.
The Foundation provides support and assistance through ongoing direct services to the youth and their families. The Foundation has greatly increased the numbers that they serve, and provides a central location that is a safe space for youth to fellowship, learn and grow through sports, therapy, and mentorship.
When crime and poverty permeate a community, the youth are often left to contend with the ramifications, without the proper tools to transcend them. Cherry Hill Eagles Foundation would like to continue to change this narrative on an even greater scale.
Each year, The Cherry Hill Eagles Foundation provides ongoing direct services to more than 250 youth and over 150 families. The Foundation has a full staff of volunteers that include past program participants, coaches, parents, and community partners. The new programming and the new community center provides a safe space and the right tools to serve the already established group of youth participants and their families, and is greatly increasing that number.
