More about Vita Sports Partners
Our Sports Partners use multiple sports to provide opportunities to young people that enable them to improve their health and wellness and educational outcomes, enabling them to elevate beyond the systemic issues of obesity and youth dropout rates which collectively cost American Society $300bn per year. However, as non-profits, in a sports sector that has no government funding or formal integration into education below high school, Sports-based non-profits in America are even more under-resourced in terms of funding, professional development (and thus talent retention) and leadership support, than their non-sports counterparts. Vita’s focus is creating opportunities for the sector that would not otherwise exist. We do this by aggregating needs and then catalyzing resources to cohorts of Sports Partners, facilitating collaborative solutions and collectively measuring and accelerating impact. We offer a shared work-space, in-depth training programs and, soon, a venture philanthropy fund. Through these services we strengthen and grow the SBYD sector and approach so that organizations we work with are empowered to deliver deeper, more meaningful, more sustainable, life-changing impact
