Mental Health

Mental health awareness is a major focal point of Artest University. Metta World Peace has been an advocate of mental health sharing openly his mental health journey with the public most recently through his documentary with Showtime “Quiet Storm: The Ron Artest Story.” In the United States alone, almost half of adults (46.4 percent) will experience a mental illness during their lifetime. We are seeking to change the narrative and remove the stigma about mental health by educating the public in partnerships with organizations like NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). The more educated the public becomes about mental health the more prepared those in need can be in getting the assistance required and daily management of their needs as well as the support of family and friends.

Financial Literacy

“Like all learning, financial education is a process that should begin at an early age and continue throughout life. This cumulative process builds the skills necessary for making critical financial decisions that affect one’s ability to attain the assets, such as education, property, and savings, that improve economic well-being.” – Alan Greenspan

Financial literacy is a key component to surpassing socioeconomic boundaries. Artest University actively seeks to enhance the financial literacy amongst youth and adults.

Education

Education is a fundamental component of Artest University. We promote continuing education assisting the youth in obtaining scholarships to the University of their choice.

Sports Activities

Artest University believes that sport activities provide children with discipline, team building skills, stress reduction, and community. Statistics show that children especially in underprivileged communities benefit greatly from participating in team sports. For many children sports activities is a gateway to excelling academically through scholarships potentially leading to careers as professional athletes. Artest University supports various communities through the elevation of participation in team sports & activities.
