ABOUT THIS PROJECT

My project focused on giving back to lower-income communities through my nonprofit, Little Cleats, Big Dreams, by providing to sports for foster children and children in households affected by domestic violence. By removing financial barriers to participation, the program offers these kids a safe, positive outlet during difficult circumstances.

JESSICA'S WHY

I am participating in the Engaged Athlete Fellowship because giving back to my community matters deeply to me. I see my community as my family. Being a fellow means taking responsibility for helping my community grow and supporting it in areas where it is struggling.
