Become a Leader today!

Represent Leaders for Youth Sports in your community by starting a project with our support.

As a Leader, you will have access to:

  • curated event toolkits so you don't have to start from ground zero on any event

  • personalized advice and involved support from our experienced Branch Advisors

  • nonprofit resources such as our 501(c)(3) status, marketing leverage, and connections

  • financial grants for your Branch's service work

  • a network of young leaders who are passionate about fighting sports inequity

Leaders have the opportunity of applying to become a Branch Leader to host more complex events such as run/walk events and sports clinics.
