What Are the Restore Games?

RESTORE Logo (1) (1).png

Restore Games is an annual community event rooted in youth violence prevention. We convene local schools, camps, nonprofits, and city partners to deliver hands-on sports clinics, mentorship by age group, and direct access to family resources and services. The goal is to strengthen protective factors, connect youth to caring adults, and celebrate a culture of safety and belonging in Birmingham.

RESTORE BIRMINGHAM

The City proposes a community-based initiative to prevent and intervene in youth violent criminal activity, while providing trauma-informed support and resources to better prepare justice-involved youth seeking to re-enter academic or workforce environments as law-abiding residents.

Thank You—You Made the Difference


To every Resource Partner and Volunteer, thank you for bringing Restore Games to life. Partners transformed the arena into a real-time Resource Hub—mentoring sign-ups, mental-health connections, education and jobs information, family support, and more. Volunteers set the tone for the entire day—greeting families, guiding youth, supporting clinics, and keeping everything safe and organized.

  • Access: OVER 20 organizations on site; families left with contacts and concrete next steps

  • Capacity: 100+ volunteers ensured a smooth, welcoming experience throughout the venue

  • Outcomes: OVER 400 youth engaged in skills and mentorship sessions

Because of you, Restore Games is not just a single event—it’s a bridge to ongoing support and a stronger, safer community.
