All Sports' participants help their community and earn a higher education.

Over 100 hundred high school and 100 college students are served annually through All Sports programs. Each participant is asked to volunteer a minimum of 25 hours of community service per semester. These students learn valuable skills, have fun, and make a difference in their community, all while planting the seed for their own future success.

The following are just a few of the many charitable organizations that benefit from the All Sports' volunteer programs. Many All Sports' student volunteers earn college financial assistance with a community service scholarship. In addition to earning a college education, these students gain self-esteem, pride and sense of accomplishment that will stay with them for a lifetime.

The All Sports mentoring program is based on a two-tier model. The program focuses on the overall personal and academic development of at-risk high school students. Most of these students are the first in their family to go to college. Because of this, they need assistance every step of the way, from school selection and enrollment to overcoming the obstacles each new year can present. For many students, this is the only opportunity they will have to prepare for productive professional careers and cross the barriers beyond their present economic status.
