Up2Us Sports' Young Voices Series is a series of one-hour virtual events in collaboration with their partner organizations, that give youth an opportunity to speak about the issues that affect them and their communities most.
Up2Us Sports Hosts Virtual MLK Day of Service Event
On Monday, January 18th, Up2Us Sports hosted a virtual event for MLK Day of Service. Nearly ten years after Martin Luther King Jr. Day signed into law as a federal holiday, it was officially established as a national day of service by Congress in 1994. It is observed as “a day on, not a day off” and is the only federal holiday nationally recognized as a day of service. This day of service is led by AmeriCorps, who also funds our Up2Us Sports Coach Program.
Amplify Change This National Mentoring Month
Imagine a world where young people feel empowered, inspired, encouraged, and understood; where they believe in their abilities to thrive no matter the circumstance. That world is a reality for many young people throughout the nation and is made possible through mentoring. Each January, MENTOR hosts National Mentoring Month as a chance for communities to recognize the various ways in which mentoring can positively impact lives.
