ARE U WASTING TIME? International Youth Empowerment is a U.S.A. based 501(c) nonprofit delivering a level of vision, access, and transformation that very few youth programs can match. At the heart of this movement is a highly distinctive International College Recruitment Basketball model designed for serious male and female middle school and high school student athletes ready to rise above the ordinary. Through our USAB Certified training philosophy, elite player development, national exposure opportunities, and the world renowned Global Goodwill Games Olympic Styled Multi National platform live streamed and showcased from Liberia and Nigeria, we create a rare pathway where young athletes do more than play basketball. They use the game to unlock Global Competition, Global Visibility, and Global Opportunity.
What makes ARE U WASTING TIME? International different is that we do not treat basketball as just a sport. We use it as a bridge to college recruitment, leadership development, academic motivation, personal growth, and international exposure that most families never imagine possible. Our student athletes are challenged to rise academically, emotionally, socially, and athletically while competing against talent from around the world and gaining meaningful visibility with U.S. colleges, universities, global institutions of higher learning, and professional scouts. This is not for families looking for average experiences. This Life Changing Opportunity is for those who want their child developed early, trained seriously, seen clearly, and positioned for a future far bigger than the local gym.
Beyond the court, ARE U WASTING TIME? International helps youth discover their voice, build confidence, and create real world value through Hip Hop infused literacy, entrepreneurship, filmmaking, photography, music production, digital media, and content creation.
We are building student athletes who can compete globally, communicate powerfully, and carry themselves with purpose in every room they enter. This is not just a program. ARE U WASTING TIME? International is a life changing movement that opens doors that would otherwise remain closed and turns raw potential into discipline, exposure, confidence, and destiny. If you want your child to think bigger, move smarter, compete globally, and begin a journey unlike anything else available, this is where that journey begins.

TRUE Career / Entreprenurial Tech Life Skills is not just a program. It is a survival blueprint for the future. Artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, and advanced digital systems are rapidly changing the way the world works, earns, communicates, and competes. Every year, there is less room for the untrained, the unprepared, and the technologically disconnected. Young people who do not learn how to use modern tools with confidence risk being locked out of opportunities, income, influence, and the global dream of living comfortable.
“That is why TRUE Career / Entreprenurial Tech Life Skills exists”
We teach students how to turn everyday technology into real world power. A phone becomes a film studio. A camera becomes a business tool. A drone becomes a gateway to innovation. Students learn content creation, filmmaking, photography, podcasting, marketing, branding, AI enhanced workflow, broadcasting, lighting, and professional media production. They do not just consume technology. They learn to control it, create with it, and profit from it.
This program is designed for the real world, where creativity, adaptability, and digital skill can open doors that traditional paths may never reach. Because not every student will attend college, but every student deserves a serious path to success, stability, and self determination. True Tech Life Skills helps students build confidence, master tools, think like entrepreneurs, and prepare for a future that will not wait.
This is more than tech training.
This is life changing empowerment, ARE U WASTING TIME?
