World Sport Chicago

Description

All of Chicago’s youth deserve to feel safe and have big league dreams, but for many, they instead face challenges such as poverty, fractured homes, violence and lack of opportunity, that make their dreams seem beyond reach. Amidst these challenges youth need access to positive role models, productive outlets, training and support to help them reach their potential.

World Sport Chicago promotes the development of sustainable sports programming that provides opportunity for under-served youth and strengthen's Chicago communities. We envision safe access for all Chicago youth to innovative sports programming that focuses on their well-being, fosters a motivational climate, has healthy authority relationships and prioritizes teamwork and sportsmanship over the scoreboard. As opportunities for such approaches to sport increase, stronger communities can demand and create a more socially inclusive city.

Volunteers help us by serving on advisory boards, standing as mentors, leading advocacy with youth and supporting fundraisers and other special events throughout the year. We look forward to having you a part of the World Sport Chicago team.
