NBA superstar LeBron James is not only doing wonders on the court but his advocacies solidify why he can be a role model off-the court as well.

LeBron James recently talked about the LeBron James Family Foundation and right now, not only are they making a brighter future for kids by providing four-year scholarship, but they are also discouraging the use of guns.

"My foundation is doing some [good work]. We're kind of focused on something right now, don't want to veer off on that, obviously you guys know the education program we're going through right now," said James via  ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin.

"Part of the education program we're doing is keeping those kids off the street and keeping their situations that [are] maybe bad and turning them into good."

The superstar said that they are focusing on preventing young people from resorting to violence and they are trying to instill positive influence for them to have a positive outlook in the future.

"I think what we're doing is controlling some of the violence," James said. "Some of these kids might be in violent situations, violent areas or violent homes and we're trying to keep them away from that by having that program that I've set up through my foundation, through the University of Akron, through the Akron Public School system and so on and so on."

"I feel like if we can do our part, through my foundation and what we do, then maybe it can possibly bring the number of percentages [of at-risk youth] down from, I don't know, 20 percent to 15 to 10. Hopefully we'll continue to do that."
