"If it doesn’t touch you at your heart and your soul… then you’re missing something… this is all about transformation and leadership… everybody has a different instrument, everybody brings something to the table… Project Blue has become something really special, something beautiful… it really is a transformation of a community… we should all do something… we’re all somebody."

"I first met Marc Maye in 2017... this wasn’t just another sports camp... teaching life skills was just as important as teaching the game... the real resource was Marc himself... he uses sports as a language of hope... every coach is, in truth, a coach of life."

"I wish that none of you are ever placed in a position where you want to give up... that’s why Project Blue, the resources they have for you, hold onto them... protect your wellbeing and your mind... if you’re going through something right now, you’re not going through it by yourself... if they can make it, you can make it as well."

"This program,  it's a multiplier…there are people in there just like, there are people inside this uniform and… the more people that see each other as human beings and family members and loved ones, the better we're all gonna be. And our community is blessed to have an organization like yours to help spread that word. We're very grateful."

Pillars

All of our programs are committed to these pillars of success:

Life Skills
Project Blue programs equip youth with lifelong skills — from respect and teamwork to financial literacy — while promoting physical and mental well-being to help them grow into healthy, resilient, and successful adults ready to take on the world.

 

Academics
We believe education is the key to a brighter future. Our programs are designed to meet each student where they are, providing grade-level support that helps them grow with confidence. For youth who need extra guidance, our mentors step in with personalized support so every child has the opportunity to thrive.

 

Service and Engagement
Parents and guardians, alongside police and community volunteers, play a vital role in building safety, trust, and a sense of belonging — and through that service, they show young people that when you give back, you get back. That’s why community contribution is at the heart of every Project Blue program.
