Play it Forward is a community-centered initiative designed to connect college athletes with local middle and high school sports teams through mentorship, movement, and representation. It gives young athletes the chance to see leaders who look like them while offering college athletes a meaningful way to grow their own leadership skills. Each college team is paired with youth athletes who play the same sport. Participants begin with 30 minutes of sport-specific activities, followed by a 30-minute leadership session focused on teamwork, goal-setting, and confidence.
