Mission Statement

To break the cycle of poverty for racialized, immigrant and refugee youth through sports and education because we understand that feelings of inclusion and a sense of hope are important for lifelong personal and professional success.

Our Youth Mentorship Model focuses on the six C’s of Positive Youth Development: the fostering of individual skills-competency, self-confidence, a strong character, and social connection, as well as developing within all participants a sense of caring for others and a desire to contribute to the community.

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.”
