“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth (the next generation) for the future.” - Franklin Roosevelt
Problem
- Suicide is the second leading cause of death for kids ages 10–14.
- Schools now stock Narcan alongside AEDs, which is proof of the crisis we face.
- Technology is advancing faster than our ability to equip kids with the human skills to manage stress, relationships, and purpose.
If we don’t prepare kids with resilience and emotional well-being, we risk setting an entire generation up for failure.
Solution
We believe the key isn’t waiting until kids are in crisis. The key is being proactive and meeting kids where they’re at by introducing a new concept to the youth sports industry by combining:
- Sports — a fun, pressure-free outlet kids already love
- Peer mentorship — because kids often listen best to other kids
- Community service — giving kids purpose and showing them their impact
Together, these create an environment where kids grow stronger mentally, emotionally, and socially.
Our Plan In Action
Every child who enters Y2S Sports learns:
- Confidence to face challenges head-on
- Resilience to bounce back from setbacks
- Leadership and teamwork that translate into school, friendships, and future careers
- A sense of purpose through seasonal Legacy Projects that give back to the community
Our goal isn’t to build better athletes. It’s about building better humans.
