The Global Youth Mentorship Network (GYM) is a grassroots sport-for-impact community. Comprised of social organisations and NGOs that focus on education through sport for personal and community development among youth within underprivileged communities around the world.

​

Our Mission: To connect, unite, and empower organisations, leveraging each group's focus and ability to create a variety of collaborative, educational opportunities for underserved youth.

​

Vision & Strategy: We aim to guide young people by giving them the opportunity to experience a wide variety of potential career opportunities which will be provided through our entire network. This can be achieved through a combination of teaching, work experience, and life skill training. ​Helping them to achieve increased social and economic status which will help to break the cycle of poverty.

 

The goal is to achieve financial sustainability, individually; within their families, and in their local communities.

 

Implementation: Each network affiliate will have a proven track record of local impact. The ​GYM Network serves as a platform to provide adaptable and collaborative initiatives that are directly responsive to community needs. Each organisation will share ideas, methodologies, and curricula to create innovative projects involving unique ways of combining sport and education.

 

The Network is also an additional platform for network organisation affiliates to spread awareness and share their cause and impact.

​

The GYM Network welcomes and invites any social sport-for-education and development enterprise to join our network and community.

 

Let's continue to inspire, empower and guide our young people to help them be inspired and motivated in order to grow, develop, excel, to create a constant learning environment to further sustain the local community.
