Youth Sports Ministry
Pathway 2 Prosperity offers Tigers Sports Ministry program as a tool for Sports for Social Change (SFSC)
I.Impact Community Vision
Our programs will focus on effective ways that sports can play a role in promoting more stable and inclusive communities, and as an alternative to anti-social behavior. Our project goals will include the importance of leadership, responsibility, teamwork, healthy living, and self-discipline to demonstrate how organized sports can encourage youth to stay in school, prevent substance abuse and
violence, and mitigate extremist voices. In addition, the SFSC project will aim to include the use of sport as
a tool to promote tolerance and understanding through organized activities that appeal to youth and youth influencers, and that focuses on conflict prevention/resolution.
Philippians 4:13 says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me..”
