The Team's second annual Engaged Athlete Forum

In partnership with the Bridge Alliance Education Fund

We’re excited to invite you to The Team’s second annual Engaged Athlete Forum – an engaging and insightful event featuring distinguished speakers, dynamic panels, and thought-provoking discussions that showcase the next generation of civic-minded athletic leaders.


This Forum marks the culmination of the Engaged Athlete Fellowship, a national civic leadership program that empowers student-athletes to drive nonpartisan civic engagement on their campuses and in their communities. Our innovative work is in partnership with the Bridge Alliance Education Fund. 


The event will bring together leaders from the worlds of sports, civics, and business, providing a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of civic engagement and innovation across influential sectors. We are honored to welcome our fellowship cohort of athletic leaders who will share their program perspectives and experiences. 


Please RSVP for the Forum at bit.ly/2025-Engaged-Athlete-Forum. Space is limited, so we encourage early registration. There will be refreshments and food offered at the event.
