Mission: The Academic and Athletic Alliance utilizes the playing field as a training ground for developing life-skills that can help prepare youth to deal with the social and work-related challenges that they will face. Through sports, youth people can learn to compete, cooperate with one another, deal with success and failure, take risks, as well as develop and maintain friendships. Sports can play a particularly vital role because what is learned on the playing field is not always taught or encouraged in other areas of their lives.
Target demographics: youth find opportunities to succeed using life lessons through sports, community service
