WEBINAR: Leveraging Youth Sports to Support Positive Youth Development

Physical activity has the power to unlock transformative benefits for young people—fostering connections with peers and caring mentors, improving mental health and mood, boosting academic performance, and promoting healthy lifestyles. Out-of-school time programs that incorporate sports are uniquely positioned to create supportive environments where youth can grow, thrive, and realize their full potential.

Join the Afterschool Alliance for a webinar featuring presentations and a panel discussion with experts from The Aspen Institute, Lakeshore Foundation, and the 318 Foundation. See how these programs have successfully integrated sports into their programming and hear strategies for implementing or enhancing sports programming to support positive youth development.

Speakers:

• Dan Gilbert, Director of Whole Child Initiatives, Afterschool Alliance
• Jennifer Brown Lerner, Deputy Director, Aspen Institute Sports & Society Program
• Kristin Kelly, Program Director, 318 Foundation
• Kyra Lambert, Program Coordinator, 318 Foundation
