Project Title: Olympians in Life
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The Peter Westbrook Foundation (PWF) uses the art of fencing to transform the lives of youth by developing their critical life skills, promoting an active lifestyle, and empowering them to achieve academic success and reach their highest potential. Over the past 30 years, PWF has provided fencing training and academic enrichment programming serving thousands of underserved youth.<\/p>\n
Your generous contribution would allow PWF to expand and enhance our Olympians in Life program, the only program of its kind combining fencing and academic support to create advancement opportunities for the underserved youth of New York City. <\/p>\n
Olympians in Life focuses on empowering youth through the sport of fencing and comprehensive personal development for youth aged 7-18. The program runs from September to June each year, 3-7 hours a week for 34 weeks. Participant retention is over 90% and we currently have a long waitlist of over 200 students. Due to facility and staffing capacity, we are currently able to serve 150 youth per academic year.
\nIn the program, scholar-athletes learn from world-class coach-mentors and academic tutors to help them learn, grow, and compete to achieve their highest potential. Through the lens of fencing, they learn discipline, gain confidence, develop healthy habits, acquire problem-solving skills, and connect with peers and mentors. These coach-mentors also serve as role models for the scholars, and since many of them hail from the same neighborhoods as the students, they are able to foster shared trust and reliability. <\/p>\n
The results of the program speak for itself: PWF students have achieved a 100% graduation rate and attending college or university, and over 80% improving their GPA each year. Our goal for this program is to continue to achieve extraordinary academic outcomes and provide high quality mentoring, tutoring, and training for even more students in the 2024-2025 school year.\n<\/p>\n
