Special Announcement: After Miss Val’s keynote at our April 8th gathering, we’ll sit down for a live interview with her and her husband, Bobby Field.

Between the two, they’ve coached Olympians, won national titles, led teams to Rose Bowls, and shaped thousands of lives through sport and leadership.

Miss Val is a 7-time NCAA Champion and one of the most celebrated gymnastics coaches of all time. Bobby Field played football at Arkansas, coached under Bear Bryant, and spent 35 years at UCLA—22 of them as Defensive Coordinator and Assistant Head Coach for football before moving into senior leadership in athletics.

Together, they became the first married couple ever inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame.

You won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to learn from two leaders who’ve lived it out at the highest level.

The St. Joe Stixx had the honor of performing at the Harlem Globetrotters halftime show on January 14th and absolutely brought the house down! 🥁💥 From the energy in the air to the crowd’s reaction, it was a night we won’t forget. 😎

Big thanks to the Harlem Globetrotters and former MCE TrashCan Band member, Raheem Tyner (who is currently a Harlem Globetrotters player) for having us, and shoutout to the drum line for delivering an unforgettable performance! Check out the pics and videos below to relive the magic. 🙌

MidCity Excellence Community Learning Center, a 501c3 non-profit

The "Solutions Summit" Overview

Focus: This show explores how to effectively heal the nation and bridge the gap between the racial divide, discuss solutions to “fix” all systems, including discourse on recent events involving police brutality, discrimination, profiling and a plethora of strategies to eradicate a history of injustices surrounding people of color.

The MidCity Excellence (MCE) Community Learning Center serves as an inner-city, non-profit mission that provides counseling, conflict resolution training, tutoring, performing arts activities (drumline, trash can band, stomp, dance) and acts as a liaison between grassroots families and the SJPD, government and school officials. Since 2001 MCE has engaged over 2,000 urban youth, mostly minority who lack positive role models and father figures, in initiatives that reverse the effects of poverty, juvenile delinquencies, and poor education. We host 7 city-wide events annually to include a gospel and praise dance fest, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Forum and a weekly live show with over 4,000 viewers entitled, the "Solutions Summit" which enhances racial relations, peace talks surrounding racial reconciliation, and addresses conflict resolution strategies to best build bridges with disenfranchises families.

Do a Facebook “Watch Party” for the weekly "Solutions Summit": every Thursday, at 7:30 pm-8:30 pm
