Our Story
Future of Sport was founded in 2023 by a group of passionate sports professionals, educators, and community advocates who recognized the transformative power of sport to drive social change and open doors of opportunity.
Beginning with a simple vision of creating more equitable access to the benefits of sport, our organization has grown into a dynamic force for innovation and inclusion. We believe that by reimagining the systems, structures, and approaches to sport, we can create a more just, accessible, and empowering landscape for future generations.
What started as local community workshops has expanded into comprehensive programming that reaches thousands of youth across multiple cities, establishing partnerships with leading organizations in sports, education, and civic leadership.
Today, Future of Sport operates at the intersection of education, civic innovation, and community development—using sport as a platform to unlock opportunity and reimagine systems that shape the lives of youth, athletes, and emerging leaders.
