Remember the first time you put on a uniform and were part of a team? Powerful.

The Collaborative is changing all of this.

Through fostering collaborative partnerships among sports-based youth development (SBYD) organizations and city agencies, directly supporting their work with training, education, and outcome measurement, the Collaborative aims to reinvent and raise the collective bar for Philadelphia’s youth sports programming focusing on the development of the child first, the athlete second.
