Alumni Council

You had an amazing, life-changing experience at SportsChallenge—you met wonderful friends and mentors; you became a more confident and skilled leader; and your athletic career finished on the strongest of notes…now, how can you get back involved in a meaningful way with SportsChallenge? Our Alumni Council formed in the summer of 2010. With the consistent growth of SportsChallenge alumni on staff, combined with our thriving online community, we recognized a definitive desire demonstrated by our alumni to remain connected after they’ve “graduated”. Therefore, the Alumni Council was developed to strengthen alumni connections with SportsChallenge and provide a range of services to alumni, current student-athletes and the organization as a whole.

Alumni Council Mission Statement: 

The SportsChallenge Alumni Council continues to empower alumni to lead and supports organizational development efforts.

Alumni Council Vision: 

The Alumni Council envisions a sustainable, thriving SportsChallenge alumni network continuing to grow as leaders.

We believe in the SportsChallenge mission.

We believe in the need to foster relationships with Leadership Academy alumni to sustain the impact of the SportsChallenge Leadership Academy.

We believe in the power of social capital to provide effective support services to SportsChallenge Leadership Academy alumni.

We believe in giving back to SportsChallenge—and help the Leadership Academy continue to give to future student-athletes—through individual fundraising efforts.

We believe the Alumni Council provides an opportunity for its members to develop personally and professionally.
