We Build Leaders Harnessing the Power of Sport
For nearly 40 years, we have partnered with sports organizations and corporate partners to address the most pressing issues in sport and society, with programs focused on gender-based violence prevention, leadership, and inclusion, both in the United States and abroad. Our goal is to empower athletes to make positive changes for themselves, their teams, and their communities.
Change Me. Change Us. Change the World.
We envision a world where the transformative power of sport serves as a catalyst for positive change.

We Bring our Mission to Life Through Four Impact:
The Institute’s Huddle Up trainings, with targeted content for athletes, coaches, and staff (at all levels), are infused with active learning strategies, dynamic, and highly interactive. Created by, and for, athletes, we inspire leadership, increase trust, and elevate the culture of an organization.
A gap we identified in the sports world is the absence of data in creating action-oriented solutions to complex social problems. The Institute provides tailored research, culture & climate assessments, and DEIB-infused human capital benchmarking tools designed to help practitioners address real-world challenges.
The Institute works with sports teams, leagues, federations, and governments to drive policy, connect people, and inspire change around the world. Through education, exchanges, and events, the Institute works with key stakeholders to promote mutual understanding and justice-focused solutions in sport.
Our goal in working with youth is simple: to empower the next generation of leaders. The Institute works with schools, after-school organizations, and sport programs to provide life-changing educational tools for the leaders of tomorrow to start impacting their community today.
