COACHING
Playmakers Academic and Leadership Program helps students overcome challenges in school, and on the playground. Their character and leadership program has three primary components: Character & Leadership, Academics, Fitness.
​
Program Coaches (typically a college student) assist the students to maintain and increase reading levels along with getting active out on the field making sure to include everyone. Boys and girls with academic and other challenges also learn about character — doing the right thing when no one is looking. Playmakers’ goal is to foster self-esteem in their young lives and pay-it-forward mentality with volunteerism in the community and other acts of kindness.
