Mission Statement

Leaders for Youth Sports is a nonprofit organization led by youth, for youth. We are committed to making youth sports more accessible to every child and inspiring young leaders to take charge in their communities. We value service through leadership, unity, modeling integrity, and inclusion in sports.

Description

Millions of children in the United States and around the world do not have access to youth sports. Whether it's the high price of classes, expensive sports equipment, or difficulty finding transportation, inequities in youth sports block too many children from pursuing the activities that they love.

Leaders for Youth Sports mobilizes young leaders to enter service work and feel supported the whole way through. Through our leadership program, we have a team of young Branch Leaders, coordinating Leaders for Youth Sports projects in their communities. Our Leaders conduct a multitude of different projects including equipment drives, equipment distributions, coaching clinics, and more. We've helped more than 700 kids, raised over $7,000, and reached over 10,000 people to raise awareness about the importance of sports. We are just getting started.
