Coaching Corps

Coaching Corps partners with low-resourced schools, community organizations, and institutions of higher learning across the nation to increase students’ access to high-quality sports activities. Coaching Corps works directly with these organizations to improve afterschool programming and coordination among physical education teachers, recess supervisors, and afterschool providers to ensure that each student engages in quality physical activity for at least 60 minutes a day. College students and community members serve as volunteer coaches, mentors and role models ensuring that the children have the opportunity work with a team while also monitoring the quality and impact of the program.

Coaching Corps works to improve the health, educational, and social outcomes for children living in low-income neighborhoods by increasing access to high-quality sports activities.

Coaching Corps works to improve the physical, emotional and social health of girls and boys growing up in poverty and communities of color by mentoring through sports. To date, 3,000 volunteer coaches have "changed the game" for more than 30,000 children.

To date, 3,000 volunteer coaches have coached more than 30,000 children in low-income communities across California, Boston, and Atlanta. This has resulted in 700,000 hours of face-to-face coaching time in the teams organized by the program. Coaching Corps has an ambitious goal to reach 300,000 kids across the nation by 2018.
