Youth Sports Nonprofit Business Plan


Youth Sports Nonprofit Business Plan


A recent report by the State University entitled Richmond’s Youth Sport Assessment found that 25 percent of Richmond Metro youth participated last year in organized sport, as compared to 85-90 percent in suburbs. Current estimates show that there are approximately 40,000 children living in Richmond Metro between the ages 6 and 14. Contrary the metro area, there are many options for youth sports in the suburbs. These include strong financial support and a wide variety. Urban girls are less likely to get involved in organized sports because they have not had the chance to be physically active, coach, or part of a team. They also don’t have access to ‘#8220 negative recreation (drugs, violence, or sexual activities) until a later time.

Clinical studies also show that sports and recreation programs can help youth establish lifelong, healthy, physical activity patterns. According to President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Prevention, regular physical activity can help with life-threatening illnesses, anxiety, weight control, and building and maintaining healthy bones, muscles and joints.

No matter their race, gender, income, income, or age, the children of the city’s core need to have an opportunity to succeed in education and sport. YouthSports is being created to help Richmond children have the same opportunity to play organized sports.

YouthSports was awarded a three year matching grant from the John Ford Stevenson Foundation (JFSF) to help them and their corporate partners use organized sports and exercise programs to promote healthy growth in youth.

JFSF is the largest philanthropy in America devoted to health and care. It is based in San Francisco. Its grantmaking is focused on three goals: to ensure that all Americans have access at affordable cost to basic health care; to improve care for those with chronic illnesses; and to reduce the economic, personal and social harm that substance abuse, including tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs, causes.

Schools and health care centers will host sport registration. The JFSF renewable matching grant is based on the concept that local funding sources have the clearest understanding of their communities’ needs. With the help of local partners, substantial funding will be available for the project.

Collaboration partners include:

  • BlueCross/BlueShield.
  • Mayor Linda Hargrove, City of Richmond
  • Parks & Recreation Department.
  • Richmond Unified School District.
  • Templex Corporation.
  • A.I. Kaufman and Sons.
  • PriceRight Supermarkets.
  • Avion Computers.
  • The Richmond Mall
  • Richmond Bank.
  • Rider Corporation

YouthSports will continue to grow its support base by securing additional funding from program sponsors.

In Brief

Solution

Unite for Youth provides mentoring programs for middle- and high-school youth in the Greater Claremont. Unite for Youth’s goal, is to promote positive friendships and strong interpersonal skills among youth, and to reaffirm hope for the future.

In Brief

Unite for Youth, a non-profit agency that provides mentoring programs for high school and middle school students in the Greater Claremont region, is called Unite for Youth. The program will create partnerships with local school districts, the juvenile court system, and other organizations. Unite for Youth’s mission is to create a community of young people who will foster pro-social friendships and strong interpersonal skills. They also hope to reaffirm their faith in the future. A sense of individual responsibility can only be restored through interpersonal relationships. This will allow youth to take ownership of their future and feel proud of what they have accomplished.

After repeated failures at school and the development of harmful habits, at-risk teens have lost faith that they can achieve their goals if they succeed in putting their lives back together. In order to achieve this goal, young adults must be in a nurturing, inclusive learning environment where they can give their best effort and show respect.

Unite for Youth, a program designed to help young people who are either not able to attend school or have been involved with the juvenile courts system, is an initiative. The program’s goal is to identify young people who will face a difficult transition into adulthood and provide positive support to help them avoid any pitfalls. The focus is slightly different at each level but the goal remains the same; empower the young person to make positive changes in his/her life.

Unite for Youth will primarily focus on middle school youths. The system expects that half of its students will be in middle schools within three years. This age group is especially problematic and provides the perfect opportunity for mentoring to be successful.

Unite for Youth’s mentoring programs will pair a youth with mentor for 12 months. They will then participate in weekly planned activities designed to strengthen their relationship and boost the young person’s hopefulness and confidence. Mentors will be provided with ongoing training and will report on the progress of the young person at a monthly meeting.

Unite for Youth, over time, will become a resource for young people as well as mentors and the larger community.
