Overview
Team-Up for Youth (TUFY) (Oakland, CA) was founded in 2002 to expand and improve after-school sports opportunities for low-income youth. Since then, the organization has developed a strong track record of success throughout the greater Bay Area with its programs, Coaching Corps and Team-Up for Girls, and its advocacy efforts. Both Coaching Corps and Team-Up for Girls connect California's colleges and universities to after-school programs in low-income communities by recruiting, training, and placing students as mentor coaches. A general operating support grant would allow TUFY to bring these two programs to scale statewide, and ultimately, nationally. In addition, the organization will continue to train community-based organizations to create and improve their sports programs in ways that impact educational and health outcomes for youth. (Tie-off, $150,000/1; 4.41% of organizational budget)
