Mission
Our mission to empower children to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically through the mentorship and mindsets of world-class athletes.
Program accomplishments
- Classroom Champions increased outreach, bringing over 30,000 students Athlete Mentors and reaching more than 5,000,000 students through mission partnerships and programs across the country. We invested in updating our education platform and curriculum to adapt to the changes needed in schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic, brought on new partners and donors, and increased the number of Olympians, Paralympians, NCAA student-athletes, and professional athletes donating their services as mentors. A testament to improving organizational structure shone through this year in improved outcomes. Student performance metrics were the best and most detailed we've seen to date. Our research showed strong student increases in grit and growth mindset factors, engagement in school, interpersonal skills, and digital engagement. As we continue to ensure we are addressing all the needs of our stakeholders, a robust teacher planning and development program was created that yielded increases in teacher performance and engagement. Throughout the summer and on a monthly basis during the school year, over 15 online webinars were offered to professionally develop teachers across the organization. Athlete Mentor training was also improved and delivered as webinar and in-person training and monthly messaging to ensure quality video lesson creation. Athlete engagement was the highest we've seen to date and their amazing dedication was reflected in the quality of their lessons and in turn in student learning and outcomes. We saw entire communities captivated by Classroom Champions as we brought together parents, volunteers, and students. From Portland, OR to Philadelphia, PA to Maitland, FL and many places in between, mentors coming to town translated into thousands more students and family members being impacted.Expenses $3,356,122 · revenue $72,107
