FREE 2B ME SPORTS
is a nonprofit 501 ( c ) 3 corporation providing mentoring and athletic training programs for youth transitioning from high school to college in the Greater Los Angeles area.

• Free 2 B Me Sports goal is to foster a commitment to young people that will promote pro-social friendships, strong interpersonal skills, and reassert a sense of hope in the future with education through sports. Only through personal relationships can a sense of individual responsibility be reestablished that will give youth the commitment to follow through on path to adulthood with a sense of pride and accomplishments. We are purpose driven to identify student athletes who are going to have a turbulent transition to adulthood and offer positive support system to avoid the pitfalls that can derail their lives. 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.

• Ultimately, Free 2 B Me Sports is marketed to Los Angeles as a critical social support system for young student athletes. Free 2 B Me Sports will impact how many other city services will be called in to respond to destructive behavior in the community and in school. Free 2 B Me Sports believes in the goal of leaving no child behind. The goal is to raise the visibility of program to assure that:

• Referral sources will use the service
• Funding sources will support the program
