Sports Mentorship Academy

Interested in bringing our program to your community?

At Sports Mentorship Academy, we are always looking for potential sites for new chapters.  We believe in the power of mentoring and want to be part of impacting the lives of untapped-potential male students and college students in your community to allow them to look forward sooner so they can give back later. Starting a chapter of Sports Mentorship Academy can be initiated by anyone in the community, but are most often started by college student leaders or university administrators. In each community, a partnership is created between the local college or university and public schools. Once college student volunteers are recruited, Sports Mentorship Academy provides training, program materials and support to establish the new chapter.
