Mission: To leverage the diverse opportunities of sports to enrich the lives of others one child, one family, one community at a time.
Vision: To create an equitable playing field for all through the transcendent world of sports.
To have an interest in working in sports, a child must first find a passion for sports. However, while the language of sports is universal, access to sports is not. Phase one of ZeroZero aims to provide access to children interested in sports through a scholarship structure for sports camps and clinics: Rally Camp and Rally Sport, and through unique enrichment opportunities and experiences that would otherwise be difficult to gain access to.
Rally Camp is a non-competitive sports camp for children to learn the lessons and values of sports while in a comfortable play environment. Rally Sport provides these children the opportunity to take their interest and experience in sports to the next level through participating in a sport-specific clinic. During our ZeroZero experiences, our children will learn about careers in sports first handedly from current sports professionals that are working in and around the game. Each experience will be specific to the organization and group of children we partner with on the enrichment program. The goal is to inspire children through the lens of athletic competition and provide them with a well-rounded perspective on the sports economy surrounding the athletic competition and various career opportunities.
Through all of these programs and experiences, we hope to “Rally the Champs” by creating entry and building interest in the world of sports.
While having a passion for something is important, there are other areas in a child’s life that play into their future success, whether that be on or off the field. In Phase Two, our goal is to continue building on our kids’ love for sports, while also uniting three crucial areas of their lives that will be needed for them to be successful, whether that’s in their career, relationship or hobbies.
In this phase, each child will enter into ZeroZero-partnered programs that promote their mental, physical and emotional well-being; things like trauma therapy, continued athletic training, ACT preparation and after school tutoring options.
Our third and final chapter is designed to prepare our kids for their journey ahead, whether that’s onto a sports team post-high school, college or into the workforce. ZeroZero will create a national network of collaboration between firms who work in the greater sports space off the field, such as media, law, engineering, architecture, marketing and medicine, with interested students to gain career insight, resources and experience. The ultimate vision is to ensure our students have the right tools to enhance their career prospects, network and form relationships with potential employers to secure a sports-minded internship.
In addition, ZeroZero will also develop a sustainable scholarship structure for the students who have graduated through our program and have expressed an interest in furthering their education to reach their career goals.
