How Sport Can Ignite Change Alongside Schools & Communities

Can sport empower communities? Change systems? Provide young people with skills needed to enhance their educational and life outcomes? YES! Hear from those involved in collective action efforts across the country using sport as a lever to create positive change and examine how schools and higher ed institutions play a crucial role in bolstering these efforts. Attendees will learn more about the history, approach, challenges, and impact of local organizing through sport and be inspired to bring these lessons back to their schools, programs and communities.
