National Alliance for Youth Sports
The goal of the National Alliance for Youth Sports is to
make sports safe and positive for America’s youth.
The Alliance believes that this can only happen if: We
provide children
with a positive introduction to youth sports; That administrators,
coaches, and game officials are well trained; Parents complete
an orientation to understand the important impact sports has
on their child’s development and: Youth sports are implemented
in accordance with the National Standards for Youth Sports.
The National Alliance For Youth Sports was founded in 1981
as the National Youth Sport Coaches Association (NYSCA) with
the mission
of improving out-of-school sports for the more than 20 million
youth participants under the age of 16. The Alliance believes
that (1) participation in youth sports develop important character
traits and values, and (2) the lives of youths can be positively
impacted if the adults caring for them have proper training
and information. As the NYSCA, we developed a national education
program for volunteer youth sport coaches that has been utilized
by more than 1.3 million coaches in America. This intensive
training program provides coaches with information and skills
that positively affect the children in their care. The organization
was also instrumental in the creation of the National Standards
for Youth Sports in 1987, which placed in motion a national
policy for children's sports. With the realization that volunteer
coaches are only one aspect of the youth sports equation, the
Board of Directors expanded the NYSCA to form the National
Alliance For Youth Sports in 1993. Today, the Alliance has
become the nation's leading youth sports educator and advocate
with nine national programs that educate volunteer coaches,
parents, youth sport program administrators, and officials
about their roles and responsibilities in the context of youth
sports, in addition to offering youth development programs
to children. Alliance programs are provided at the local level
through dynamic partnerships with more than 2,000 community-based
organizations such as parks and recreation departments, Boys
and Girls Clubs, Police Athletic Leagues, YMCA/YWCAs, and other
independent youth service groups throughout the country. The
Alliance also has a strong presence on military installations
worldwide, including every Air Force base. |

Outward
Bound
Outward Bound courses are challenging, exhilarating journeys that take
place in Canada’s most beautiful wilderness – from the majestic
peaks of B.C.’s Coast Mountains to the solitude of northern Ontario’s
boreal forest, to the extraordinary white water rivers of the Yukon.The
wilderness will be your classroom. The lakes, rivers, forests, mountains,
and ocean provide the challenges. Some of these challenges will be physical – launching
a sea kayak into the rolling waves of Georgian Bay, climbing a rugged peak,
or portaging a canoe through the boreal forest. Other challenges are more
subtle, such as developing your leadership skills or learning to work effectively
as a member of a team.The rewards come from meeting these challenges and
accomplishing what you thought was impossible. Students not only learn
the technical skills demanded by travel in the wilderness, but they also
develop long-lasting attributes that are the hallmark of Outward Bound,
such as adaptability, responsibility, confidence, integrity, persistence,
and the ability to work with others – qualities that will last a
lifetime .You'll gain confidence and a new level of respect – for
yourself, for others, and for the environment.

Positive Coaching Alliance
Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA)
is a nonprofit organization based at Stanford University.
PCA was created to transform the culture of youth
sports to give
all young athletes the opportunity for a positive, character-building
experience. We have three national goals: 1) To replace the "win-at-all-cost" model
of coaching with the "Double-Goal Coach" who wants
to win but has a second, more important, goal of using sports
to teach life lessons; 2) To teach youth sports organization
leaders how to create an organizational culture in which Honoring
the Game is the norm; and 3) To spark and fuel a "social
epidemic" of Positive Coaching that will sweep this
country. There are many people in this nation who want to
change the
culture of youth sports, but they do not feel equipped to
do so. Positive Coaching Alliance has developed practical
tools
to change the culture of youth sports and is making them
available to coaches, parents, league organizers and others
who will
fire this movement. |

STEPS
Forward & STEPS-UBC
STEPS Forward Inclusive Post-secondary Education Society (STEPS) was incorporated
in 2001 by a group of parents concerned that there was no place in society
for their children with intellectual disabilities as they reached adulthood – no
place for lifelong education, no place for employment, no place to participate
as citizens. STEPS’ mandate is to transform post-secondary education
in the province of British Columbia by modeling inclusion for students
with intellectual disabilities, starting at UBC (STEPS-UBC) and eventually
expanding to other colleges and universities throughout the lower mainland
and the rest of the province. As post-secondary inclusion becomes the norm,
young adults with intellectual disabilities and their parents will begin
to exercise their right to participate in society as full citizens. More
importantly, members of the community at large, whose access to post-secondary
education and right to find fulfillment through meaningful employment is
a given, will begin to see inclusion as the norm as well. In short, this
project will transform both the life chances for people with intellectual
disabilities and the nature of post-secondary communities.
