Antwaine Smith
Regional Manager, Baltimore Office

A native of Baltimore, Md., Antwaine Smith returned home in 2005 when he was named the Baltimore Regional Manager for the Center for the Study of Sport in Society at Northeastern University. Recognizing a need for programming addressing violence prevention, diversity, healthy development and physical activity in Baltimore, he has spent two years developing relationships and connections within the local community, government, and school systems.

Antwaine is a seven year veteran at Sport in Society. Prior to being named the Baltimore Regional Manager, he was a Manager of Outreach for Violence Prevention and Diversity (VPD) at Sport in Society. He primarily worked with Sport in Society�s flagship program, Project TEAMWORK. Working with the center and his life experience have enabled him to utilize his skills and influence to deliver outreach programming to students, school administrators, and other community organizations. He facilitated trainings for nearly 2,000 students regionally and nationally. He was also instrumental in writing and developing additional curriculum for Project TEAMWORK. He was later named Acting Director of Project Teamwork and is a certified trainer for Mentors in Violence Prevention.

He joined Sport in Society after a successful career in professional football. He played for the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League. Before playing professionally he captained Northeastern University�s football team. While at Northeastern Antwaine took a very active role in community initiatives. He served as a mentor with the Paul Robeson Institute for boys and participated in the National Student Athlete Day.

His love for football and the community started much earlier than his college years. The development of his life�s work began at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, where he played and was captain of the football and basketball teams. His dexterity on the football field was evident, and he was selected as All Metro and All Conference and was a starter in the Maryland Scholastic Athletic All Star Game.

Antwaine currently resides in Baltimore, Md. with his wife and two sons
