Project Title: Philadelphhia Youth Football Academy’s Community League Program
Project Description:

Throughout our yearly program, our youth participate in a variety of flag football, non-traditional learning, and social enrichment activities. Our youth are prepared to play in organized, soon to be sanctioned games; to test their skill level, build youth binding and a positive sense of belonging. Staff, adults from our site’s surrounding area, serve as coaches and mentors. In return, the positivity from our program is returned to our communities. Our youth participate in their area’s community engagement activities; thus shining a positive light on them, our coaches/staff and our organization.
