Former Seattle Seahawk fullback and Pro-Bowl veteran Mack Strong, in partnership with HOPE worldwide, North Slope Borough, and Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, brought the TEAM-WORKS Sports and Leadership Camp to Barrow, Alaska this June. The seven-day camp, running June 23-29, provided at-risk youth from rural Alaska and Washington the opportunity to receive mentorship and professional coaching in sports and the arts.
These communities are home to youth with staggering amounts of substance abuse and school dropout rates. The purpose of the camp was to provide these children with opportunities for character development and hope for positive futures.
The local ABC news channel in Barrow highlighted the Top of the World Camp and the impact it had on the community.
