A community of stakeholders with one voice – academic excellence.
Urban Champions is a community-based, nonprofit organization whose primary focus is to teach at-risk youth that are academically ineligible, disengaged, and struggling, how to become champions in all phases of life—academics, athletics, career training, higher education, community enrichment.
We accomplish this through the development of executive function, and social-emotional growth, so the students can be goal-directed, independent, and purposeful in all their pursuits.
We have one purpose: to prepare scholar-athletes for college and beyond.
If college is not in his or her plans, our vocational training partners can assist participants in obtaining gainful trade skill employment after high school.
Urban Champions redefines for at-risk academically ineligible, disengaged, or struggling students what it means to become a champion, and rewards those who choose to become champions in the classroom and life. Our mission is summarized in the following acronym:
We work side by side with committed parents, to empower their sons and daughters to excel in the Executive Function, Social-Emotional Skills, and goal-directed behaviors, they need to be independent, and purposeful, so they can win academically, and in life.
The Urban Champions program effectively provides an environment to teach our youth how to empower themselves to become focused on setting achievable goals. They become increasingly focused to become the scholar athletes they are striving to be.”
“I see a difference in my son’s study habits, as well as his daily routine. He is becoming more self-motivated and fine tuning his problem-solving skills. It’s exciting to see the improvement!
This program provides our student athletes with the knowledge and resources to become successful, and most of all, respectful adults.
Please continue to encourage all of our students to participate in this program (Urban Champions).
Students are already excited about sports. Urban Champions will empower them and channel that excitement into holistic, positive action that encompasses their entire life.
