Our organization has its focus in youth and community development through athletics, recreation, and education. We offer a variety of programs designed specifically for the benefit of athletes, students, schools, and communities. Each age and skill appropriate program is effectively designed to promote excellence in sport and keep students more engaged in school and community, while inspiring active involvement, creativity, and positive leadership. Each unique program either individually or in combination, has the potential to promote the development of essential life skills, while making a positive difference in the lives of youth.
Mission
Our mission is to assume the leadership role in the promotion, development and support of youth through athletics, recreation, and education.
Mandate
Our mandate is to provide leadership and direction, by training and developing youth, mentors, teachers, communities, coaches, and officials, while coordinating local and regional programs and activities.
The Youth Advantage
Our motivational and inspirational activities develop self-esteem, foster trust and understanding, and provide unique opportunities for active learning, while encouraging a sense of accomplishment and invoking the desire to succeed in life. As youth participate in our progressive clinics, workshops, and activities they will develop, refine and enhance essential skills, tools and techniques needed to become successful team and community members.
*Many of our programs are also specially designed to equip at-risk youth as well as those who directly and indirectly support them, with the necessary life and leadership skills to succeed.
We are committed to planning and delivering experience-based learning opportunities that encourage people to be active participants in their community. We empower individuals and local organizations through providing opportunities to get involved in the delivery of positive programming, while gaining valuable community services based experience, and ultimately building their resumes in the process.
Community Empowerment
Our training and education programs promote positive role modeling through the empowerment and development of youth and sport. We strongly believe that it is only through local influence and community-led initiatives that we can effectively promote awareness, wellness, and the positive development of locally sustainable initiatives. Each of our programs can be delivered by our professional and experienced staff, and also adjusted to provide local community members with the opportunity to be trained to facilitate a selection of our innovative activities on an ongoing basis.
