Our Plan

Two basketball camps will be held in western Uganda in June 2021. Camps will be held at Maryhill High School in Mbarre and Immaculate Heart Girls School in Nyakibale. These camps will be conducted by The Colorado Springs School basketball coaches Vicki Vaughan and Caleb Strickland along with current and former high school players from the Colorado Springs area. A 1984 Team USA Olympic gold medalist, Cathy Boswell, will also be participating in the camps and contributing her expertise and passion for basketball. These camps will be coordinated with the help of Dennis Katungye who is a teacher and basketball coach at Maryhill High School in Uganda.

Our Story

There are a variety of nonprofit organizations that intend to further the development of young children in rural areas through the use of a sport. However, Crossover for Change is unique for many reasons. First of all, this nonprofit has female student-athletes at the forefront of the establishment as they work side-by-side with a few adults aiming to create a means for girls to come together, feel empowered, gain confidence, and possess a sense of belonging. These females are also incorporated as mentors to the young women in Western Uganda in order to foster an everlasting relationship. Basketball is the chosen sport of this organization since it will be utilized to promote character both on and off the court.
