Coach Across America partners with local nonprofits, schools, and sports organizations to support and train AmeriCorps coaches for a one-year service term to work in underserved communities. Our AmeriCorps coaches participate in Sports-Based Youth Development training that emphasizes the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills needed to help youth reach their full potential.
