What to know about Volunteering with us!!!
What do we do?
We provide a safe space for coaches and athletes to grow in their faith, character, and leadership using the platform of athletics to be able to connect, support, love and work together for the glory of God. Our strategy is to Engage, Equip, and Empower each person. This strategy allows for impact eternally, internally, locally, and globally!
How do we do that?
We do this through being present on and off the field, providing meals, team builders, multi-sport camps, mentorship programs, transportation, volunteering, trips, and so much more.
Why do we do it?
Why not? Because every person deserves the opportunity to elevate their life and because few people are doing it. We have the opportunity to meet people where they are on the field, in the pool, or on the court.
