sports & Adventure Experiences
Centered on experiences impossible to provide in the classroom during the academic day, we tailor sports and adventure opportunities to reinforce our curriculum’s character qualities and life skills and to strengthen relational bonds between students and teacher-mentors. Students also tackle many “firsts” as they learn to process failures, identify vital lessons learned, and reward hard work and achievement.
Our Sports & Adventure Program, one aspect of our multifaceted model that provides holistic, life-on-life mentoring for at-promise youth in urban Indianapolis, centers on intensive experiences impossible to provide in the classroom setting during the academic day.
Geared to fulfill our desire for students to be seen, known, heard, and loved in the present, and with their future achievement and success in the forefront, our Teacher-Mentors expose students to new experiences and push them beyond their limits through play-based activities that revolve around sports and adventure.
We are looking for long-term partners that want to make a difference in the lives of urban youth through Sports & Adventure opportunities.
LEARN TO HANDLE THE HARD IN LIFE
No one escapes challenge, defeat, the hard in life. Our responses to it makes all the difference. Some build us up. Others tear us down. Our Sports & Adventure experiences places students in difficult situations where they practice healthy risk-taking that boost their confidence while experiencing new ways to connect with others.
