G Herbo’s ‘Swervin’ Through Stress’ initiative partners with local Chicago non-profit Project Swish, for upcoming sWish Fall League for ages 14+, beginning this week. The sWish Fall League is a weekly basketball clinic that runs for 10-weeks and is activated in four different underserved neighborhoods across the Chicagoland area – Southshore, Pullman/Roseland, Englewood, and North Lawndale. Announced via Instagram today, the partnership with ‘Swervin Through Stress’ will allow each session to include wellness activations, as well as a licensed mental wellness clinician available on-site weekly.
Now in their fifth year of programming, Project Swish’s sWish League actively keeps young men off the streets by strategically placing League sessions in Chicago’s high-crime areas, and scheduled during times of day when young men find themselves most vulnerable. More info on timing for each sWish Fall League location included on the promo graphic above.
