Our Mission

Goals and Assists

Our Mission

Our purpose is to provide financial and developmental assistance to nurture the athletic, academic, and character development of gifted boys and girls from all over the world. By providing them with the support structure they need to be relieved of the stresses related to basic day-to-day needs, we allow them to fully focus on advancing their athletic abilities, progressing in their education, and further developing their character.

Our Philosophy

Education

Education is a key pillar to everything that we do at our organization. All of our students have to perform in the classroom.

Sports

We strongly believe that athletics provide the discipline, structure, and support network needed to thrive in a new environment. By recruiting elite athletes, we know that they will be given the best opportunity for success.

Character

Goals and Assists isn’t looking for just athletes, or even students. We are looking for leaders. Our goal through our program is to continue the growth of strong characters of future role models.

Ways to Support

Financial Support

Promising student athletes often have the opportunity to earn scholarships to attend top high school programs, of which they may expect to receive complimentary tuition, as well as room and board. This is extremely generous. However, it is not all inclusive, and some students may be coming from circumstances that can make other expenses seem impossible. Things like flights home for summer break or the winter holidays, a cell phone, social events, or even a winter coat. Over the course of a year it is completely normal for these “other” expenses to total in excess $20,000.

In our research, we have found that some school administrators or parents of other students ultimately end up providing these accommodations and covering these costs, or in other cases these student- athletes simply end up excluded due to their lack of means. We have also learned that as a result of this oversight, schools may have what they consider a negative experience, and cease to offer these types of opportunities even thought they are budgeted for.

Donors to Goals and Assists provide the financial stability needed to support these students and these programs. Our student athletes don’t have to worry about whether or not they can attend the homecoming dance, what they will do when the school’s campus closes or winter break, or how they can afford a cell phone. Their needs will be taken care of, and they can focus fully on their academic and athletic commitments. Additionally, by taking care of these students we also provide the sponsoring schools with the peace of mind and positive experiences needed to continue to support their exchange programs well into the future.

Emotional Support

Goals and Assists is very excited to announce that we are developing our own mentor program. Founding board member, and former Seattle Seahawks Man of the Year, Roy Lewis understands the power of mentorship. As such, he is building a network of mentors that our Goals and Assists Scholar can look up to and seek advice and guidance from. Mentors who know what it takes to succeed as a student-athlete, and what type of intangible support can help someone cultivate their own potential. Stay tuned for more news on this program!

More than sports

As a nonprofit organization based in the United States, our passion at Goals and Assists is to change lives on and off the field for both boys and girls. We want our students to become future leaders role models in order for them to inspire, support and help others in their communities, who have not had the same opportunities.
