Why we do what we do.
Our Program gives the ability to boys and girls to connect with their communities and strengthen relationships within it, so that they can grow as individuals and strive for success.
-
"Empower youth by partnering with charitable organizations to connect them with carefully selected student-athlete volunteers, enriching their programs with athletic training, academic tutoring, and stronger community ties."
-
"To create a future where every young person has access to transformative opportunities through athletics, education, and a sense of community, fostering a generation of confident, connected, and well-rounded individuals."
Our Process
1. Submit Volunteer Application
The student-athlete fills out a form on the website with basic details, including their experience, interests, and availability. This step helps us understand their passions and match them with suitable volunteer opportunities.
2. Receive Volunteer Opportunities
After submitting the form, the athlete will be forwarded links to available volunteer positions based on their profile. Players With Heart does the research for you, sending you available positions when the season comes around.
3. Select and Confirm Participation
Once the athlete reviews the opportunities, they can decide to apply for any positions they find interesting. If selected, the athlete will be notified with next steps to confirm their participation in the volunteer program.
