ABOUT US

Box to Box Tumaini Academy is a 501(c503) non-profit organization whose mission is to develop, enable, and enhance the Lexington youth community through sports, positive experiences, and leadership development. Box to Box Tumaini Academy (BTBTA) is completely sustained by volunteers. The BTBTA volunteer family accomplishes our mission of personal growth and positive experiences through selected after school programs in an inclusive, safe, and welcoming atmosphere.

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. box2box emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words. We aim to level the playing field for refugees and new American students and their families by empowering them to become independent thinkers, high-achieving scholars, and productive citizens. As an organization we are committed to meeting the needs of our students. Our programs provide a unique environment that merges academic support through english proficiency; holistic, trauma-informed support; the confidence and socio-emotional skills to navigate a new culture and country; and a community wholly invested in each student through Middle School, High School, College and beyond.
