vision

To be the national exemplar in sport-based positive youth development programming.

The LiFEsports program is nationally recognized as a premier model for sport-based PYD. Most of our work involves impacting the lives of those who need it most. We strive to address the broader social conditions young people face, especially those exposed to various social vulnerabilities. Our Initiative’s focus on teaching has continued to impact the sport-based PYD field by developing tomorrow’s workforce, and our research demonstrates how sport can make difference in the lives of vulnerable youth.
