Sports - Access and Innovation

While many young people dream of being a professional athlete, there’s so much more to sports than just playing the game. Being involved in sports teaches discipline, hard work, good sportsmanship, resilience, and teamwork - and it provides the opportunity for great mentorship.

Sport Innovation refers to the business of sport, including coaching, marketing, technology, player development, and community engagement. Our goal is to educate athletes and help create unique avenues for them.

“The Lord used sports as a vehicle to give me an opportunity to succeed in life, on and off the field. Playing sports instilled discipline, sacrifice, and perseverance in me. I was blessed to have great coaches and teachers throughout my entire athletic career. Sports also introduced me to the mentors who would help me seize opportunities that would shape my future, as I have now transitioned into the business of sport.” - Scott Turner, CEO

Mentorship - Leadership and Education

We partner with powerful mentors that will speak into their lives and give them the security and resources they need for their own personal development. This includes internships, education, business leaders, and faith partners. Our mentors are true leaders who are helping to change the conversation from hopelessness and despair to new opportunities and an optimistic future

Opportunity - Resources and Sustainability

Revitalization comes in many forms ranging from physical restoration to education programs to a variety of valuable resources. In addition to our own Learning Lab program and Mentorship initiative, we support community programs that align with our mission to provide both immediate and sustainable resources and opportunities for those living in these areas so greatly affected by poverty.

When we give resources and provide opportunity, we foster a spirit of hope that will change hearts and minds.

Giving young people access and opportunity through our foundational pillars:

While many young people dream of being a professional athlete, there’s so much more to sports than just playing the game.
