We are a traditional archery program and teach with recurve bows
Hidden Gems Archery is a mobile archery business. We set up archery ranges in various parts of New York City and surrounding areas. We currently do not have any pop-up ranges opened to the community.
We use this set up for our small classes. Usually, we work with 10 students for an hour using this setup.
We set up one or two targets and encourage your community to try archery.
We started because Natasha Green, a former Math Teacher at DWCHS, decided that black, brown and urban students should get the opportunity to try the Olympic sport called archery. So, we decided to bring it to them.
Our goal was to bring archery (and other sports) to as many urban youths as possible, especially black and brown students. Our founder decided that a nonprofit archery program would do the job.
The owner, Natasha Green’s alma mater allowed us to have archery programs on Sundays in the Genovesi Center.
We still have the nonprofit but decided a for-profit model will allow us to do the work and make the impact we want to make.
We wanted to have a space for participants to come enjoy the sport of archery.
We closed the stationary business and decided mobile archery worked best for us.
Our owner became MWBE certified and we built programs for schools and other youth servicing organizations.
We have a multi-year contract to work in New York City Department of Education Schools.
We provided archery programs to a lot more schools and we are growing continually.
