Uncovering the Possibilities for our youth!
Going Pro is a progressive approach to empowerment, character building, and equality utilizing the power of sports and business. The virtual program provides both male and female students ages 12-21 from various school districts with the opportunity to interact and learn about the “business” side of professional sports. Owners, executives, attorneys, marketing, media, and operations personnel from various sports teams will be invited to a digital dialogue educating students about their responsibilities and positions. Keenly focused on equality, diversity, and inclusion, our program is designed to introduce students to over 6 million job opportunities in and around the world of sports.
The program begins in the academic year 2020 and will also help students studying in the areas of STEAM and other academic disciplines to expose them to the possibilities in sports as well. Going Pro welcomes students from specific grade levels, clubs, organizations, and/or sports teams to participate.
“Students need the opportunity to be exposed to the front office positions in sports as well as other professions. This innovative program is something we’ve never had. As a parent I am excited about my child seeing all the possibilities.
