Athletes in Service to America is in the process of looking for exceptional former varsity collegiate student-athletes for 1-2 years of community service at select universities and colleges.

Programs begin in Fall 2003.

Participants will provide academic tutoring and mentoring service, and violence prevention training to children K-12.

Benefits include:

  • living allowance
  • education award
  • loan forbearance
  • tuition assistance (depending on institution)
  • professional development
  • and much more.

PLEASE NOTE:
Beginning in the summer of 2003, we will pilot a NEW program design at our Northeastern site. This new design will mark the beginning of an overall shift in the Athletes in Service program focus; with the remaining sites changing in the summer of 2004. Now, more than ever, many young people lack the opportunities and structure to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Obesity, asthma, and diabetes are serious health issues confronting the youth of today in epidemic proportions. In order to address these issues, many of which are due to lack of quality physical activity, our program will focus on providing, organized recreational opportunities for elementary age students in Boston Public Schools. In addition, our members will continue to provide life-skills trainings, including diversity/ conflict resolution, nutrition, and critical problem solving skills, among others, to the young people in our communities. We will also collaborate closely with community health organizations to ensure the overall well-being of young people and their families with whom we are working.
