Up2Us Sports marks 15 years of empowering youth through sports and unveils a rebrand to expand its impact.
AmeriCorps announced that Up2Us Sports would once again receive critical funding for our national service coach program. Since 2009, AmeriCorps funding has allowed us to train and support over 3,900 coaches to significantly impact the lives of nearly 100,000 young people.
Welcome to a momentous occasion as we celebrate 14 incredible years of Up2Us Sports! Since our inception, we have been committed to empowering young people through the power of sports, national service and mentorship.
We hope you will read our latest Annual Report and we thank you for your support in helping us provide underserved youth with a coach who cares about them. This report covers our 2021-2022 program and fiscal year.
The Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children's Mental Health Innovation Awards—an initiative that aims to identify and fund mental healthcare solutions for children and young adults across the United States—honors a 2022 winner, Up2Us Sports.
Up2Us Sports launched a Lunch & Learn Series for our She Changes the Game initiative in order to educate sports-based youth development programs about diversifying recruitment strategies, the importance and benefits of having women staff and coaches, and the progress we’ve made in advancing opportunities for women and girls in sport.

Welcome to March, a time of year in the sports world brimming with what is most aptly described as Madness: a fanatical fusion of excitement, anticipation, and suspense, plus the ever-so-palpable promise of basketball history in the making. March Madness is to sports fans as Women’s History Month can be to all of us!
Every March, we celebrate AmeriCorps Week. This year we’re celebrating March 13-19. During AmeriCorps Week we recognize the commitment of the millions of Americans who have chosen to serve their country through AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Seniors, and encourage more Americans to follow in their footsteps of service.
