Shaping Futures: PureGame's Journey of Empowerment and Community Building

At PureGame, we are dedicated to fostering youth empowerment through innovative sports-based programs. We recognize the critical need for positive role models and structured guidance in the lives of children, especially in underserved communities. Our mission is to provide these young individuals with life-changing opportunities to develop essential life skills, character, and values through the universal language of sports. As a leading youth development organization, we understand the profound impact that sports can have on a child’s social-emotional learning, leadership abilities, and overall well-being.

Partnering with PureGame means contributing to a cause that directly tackles pressing issues faced by today's youth. We are committed to addressing the challenges of educational disparities, lack of resources, and negative influences prevalent in many communities. Our programs are specifically designed to engage children in a meaningful way, teaching them resilience, teamwork, and confidence in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment. This approach not only enhances their personal growth but also contributes to building healthier, more vibrant communities.

For schools, community centers, and philanthropists looking to make a tangible difference, PureGame offers a unique platform. Our comprehensive curriculum, expertly crafted by experienced educators and sports professionals, ensures that each child receives the best possible mentorship and support. By investing in our programs, donors and partners can witness firsthand the transformative power of their contributions. We believe in creating a brighter future for our children, and by joining hands with PureGame, you become an integral part of this inspiring journey.

We Make Meaningful Connections

  • A meaningful connection is eye-to-eye communication with either a single child, a small group of youth, a partner staff member, a parent, or other PureGame staff members.

  • Communication is two-sided, and so the PureGame staff will actively listen and provide feedback and assistance where needed.

We Deliver Educational Programming

  • Educational programming is Field Champions delivering the PureGame curriculum.

  • Field Champions will connect the SEL curriculum to real-life skills based on personal experiences and the student’s grade.

  • Educational programming happens when PureGame staff train and educate our partner’s staff, parents, and other PureGame Field Champions in the work of connecting with young people.

We Create Sustainable Collaborations

  • A sustainable collaboration brings any funder to support the PureGame program.

  • A sustainable collaboration is creating relationships with the youth we serve, so they desire to return to the program.

Outcomes

  • The PureGame kids learn, laugh and come together through sport. They leave the field each day knowing they have what it takes to be successful.
