God has called upon Sports World, Inc. to reach out. In doing so, we have forged a partnership with Chicago Public Schools and their Office of Family and Community Engagement in Education (FACE2). Our vision is to double the number of student outreaches offered.

This partnership will bring the Sports World, Inc. program to an additional 600 schools and 376,000 students. Our three year GOAL is to raise $375,000 by the 2021 school year, and launch 30 outreach weeks that will impact 300,000 students. The cost to Sports World, Inc. for each three day outreach week is $12,500. Each outreach week will also include after school events with local churches and ministries intended to further discipleship and Christian mentoring to these students.

“You see a lot of stuff in my neighborhood. People argue every single day.
