A participant involved in the Suns Nite Hoops program is required to undergo onsite workshops which provide education on several imperative career, life, and family related topics.

Prior to each basketball game, participants attend these life altering workshops which are hosted by the National Curriculum and Training Institute. Participants meet with workshop facilitators during the first season to discuss important issues such as improving their education, learning personal and social development skills (i.e. conflict resolution, anger management, teamwork), parenting skills, etc. During the second season workshop facilitators take part in teaching life skill development specific to job opportunities and job skills such as writing a resume, interviewing, and maintaining employment. The workshops are conducted in an interactive format teaching life skill development through small group discussion, role-playing, brainstorming, and skill development exercises. Most importantly, the sessions are fun, interactive, and insightful. The participants' view on career and crime can be transformed extensively through the presentation of an alternate approach to overcoming obstacles. If participants do not attend their scheduled workshop, they are not permitted to partake in the evening's basketball game.
