About Us
Athletes United is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization established by a former student athlete who understands the challenges faced by many underprivileged youth in our community.
Mission:
To positively affect social change by training former athletes in life coaching skills which will allow them to provide a comprehensive support system to young people within a safe environment of play and learning; so they may reach their full potential as productive citizens and excel as leaders.
Objectives:
Former athletes will assist youth in becoming responsible and caring citizens by developing their confidence, leadership and establish positive decision-making skills.
We use community-based practices to guide our efforts of success: serving a community need, identifying and fostering intentional learning objectives, creating structured opportunities for reflection, including youth voice and leadership, fostering civic responsibility, evaluating the program and activities; building partnerships between youth, parents, schools and communities.
