The Bigger Than Goals Mentorship Program is a nonprofit after school program dedicated to empowering inner-city middle school students through sports training, academic tutoring, and personal mentorship. Our program was created to address the barriers that prevent many talented young athletes from reaching their full potential due to limited resources or insufficient access to organized sports opportunities.

Our program provides high-level soccer and basketball training designed to develop the complete athlete. Through a focus on technical skills, physical development, mental strength, and game awareness, we help students build the confidence and discipline needed to reach their next level—both in sports and in life.

Through our tutoring program, students receive guidance from trained professionals who provide the support, resources, and skills needed to become confident, capable, and well-rounded individuals. We are committed to helping students succeed academically while developing the habits and mindset needed for long-term growth.

Our mentorship program is supported by a social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum focused on building confidence, self-awareness, accountability, leadership, and other essential life skills. We help students better understand themselves, overcome challenges, and develop the tools needed to navigate everyday life with purpose and resilience.

Together, our mission is to support student-athletes throughout their journey—whether their goal is to become the next Messi or LeBron, pursue a career as a teacher or scientist, or simply become the best version of themselves. We provide the guidance, opportunities, and support needed to help every student dream bigger, grow stronger, and achieve their full potential.
