We’re fortunate to have a leading national organization in our camp. Up2Us Sports is a nonprofit that trains young adults to coach and mentor kids who face adversity. Importantly, Up2Us teaches trauma-sensitive tactics to help youth channel their toxic stress and negative impulses into positive behavior.
For recruiting assistance, Up2Us partners with AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) – a Corporation for National and Community Service program that helps people to reach their fullest potential.
VISTA members volunteer for a suited organization and gain useful career skills in the process. It’s Up2Us who trains qualified VISTA volunteers to coach and mentor those youth who face adversity.
Because of Up2Us and its relationship with VISTA, Upower now has two awesome coaches who not only physically add to our team, but also advance our knowledge on how to teach trauma-informed fitness – a critical component to successfully interacting with our teens.
Thank you Up2Us Sports!
