Shooting Touch is a non-profit organization focused on sport-for-development, using basketball to connect youth and women to healthier futures. Based in Hyde Park, Massachusetts, with operations in Boston and Eastern Rwanda, the group aims to improve physical activity access, health education, and related services while promoting social change. Founded in 2007, the organization has grown from a local basketball program into an international NGO that has reached hundreds of thousands of youth and women across six countries, directly serving thousands and influencing tens of thousands more daily. In its current work, Shooting Touch runs two signature programs in Boston and Rwanda, each targeting diverse age groups and communities to address race, gender, and health opportunity gaps through sport. A recent development includes a collaboration in Boston with State Street Investment Management and the WNBA, illustrating renewed partnerships to advance women’s sports and development goals.
