Above & Beyond the Playground is a newly formed nonprofit business providing academic and athletic mentoring programs for middle school, high school and early college students in the city of Milwaukee. An ambitious desire to make a difference and nurture Milwaukee’s youth compelled Deonte Tatum to develop a nonprofit mentor program structured around academics and athletics, and to see it become a reality. Above and Beyond is modeled as enrichment enterprise serving the public and is designed to promote personal growth and team-building through valuable mentor/student-athlete relationships working together to achieve common goals.
