Launched in June 2018, Sport for Good Chicago is a collective that provides a platform for collaboration and advocates for sport as a vehicle for social change in our community. Since our launch in 2018, we have:
- Provided more than 90 grants impacting the lives of over 80,000 young people
- Trained more than 250+ local coaches in sports-based youth development and positive youth development best practices
- Built partnerships with local and state officials to secure $10.5M in government appropriations funding through ICJIA, providing grants to organizations working in R3 Zones, which have the highest concentration of reported violence and child poverty throughout the state.
Together, we imagine a Chicago where every child has the opportunity to be part of a team, every coach is trained in life-skill development and sport-skill development, every park is a safe haven, and every program receives the support it needs to thrive.
Sport for Good Chicago is Laureus USA’s fourth Sport for Good City, built on learnings and experience from our efforts in Atlanta, New Orleans, and New York City.
