Project Title: Philadelphhia Youth Football Academy’s Community League Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
While it is the dream of student-athletes to play professional sports, the reality is that 99% will not attain this goal and instead may find themselves with a limited education and few opportunities. Aspiring youth need to be set up for success in life regardless of what happens on the field. Understanding and addressing this realism is why the Philadelphia Youth Football Academy was created. Our objective is to provide student-athletes a comprehensive year-round curriculum administered in collaboration with the most well respected and accomplished firms in both athletics and academics with the goal of our graduates thriving in college. According to the Urban Institute, the Philadelphia metropolitan area has a higher teen unemployment rate (34.1 percent) than New Orleans (27.9 percent) or St. Louis (21.9 percent), and the New Orleans metropolitan area has a higher youth disconnection rate (14.1 percent) than the Philadelphia (10.0 percent) or St. Louis (9.3 percent) areas. There is an assumption in the Philadelphia area that male youth
\nof color are not seeking employment or post-secondary opportunities. Many of them are not prepared properly to enter college or the workforce. Many lack the of the knowledge of test preparation, good studying habits, wearing the proper clothes, knowing of the importance of punctuality, and speaking properly. Through our Community League Program, our current and new youth are (and will) experiencing workforce, life skills and post-secondary enrichment activities. This project will properly prepare them in all those facets. <\/p>\n
