About
Hoops Express is a nonprofit 501C(3), community-based organization that provides an array of supportive services to at-risk, school aged youths in the Newburgh (Orange County), N.Y. area. Founded in 1998 and formally incorporated in November 2000, Hoops Express was established to promote positive individual development for at-risk youths through the provision of educational, athletic and cultural programs.
