Mission: Coaching Corps works to ensure that all kids reap the benefits of playing sports with a trained, caring coach. Since its inception in 2002, Coaching Corps seeks to use sports and the power of coaches as vehicles for transformative change for youth in underserved communities. To date, we have placed over 18,000 coaches with hundreds of afterschool sports programs, serving over 200,000 youth in underserved communities across the country. By making trained, caring coaches available to established community partners, Coaching Corps coaches help create safe, structured environments that promote character-building, encourage an active and healthy lifestyle, and cultivate positive relationships with peers and adults. (Less)
