Youth Community Policing Program Particpation
The Youth Community Policing Program is designed to engage and empower youth aged 9 to 17 years old in our community.
The Youth Community Policing Program provides a unique opportunity for young individuals to learn, grow, and make a positive impact in their communities. By bringing together Esports, drones, and community policing principles, we aim to equip youth with valuable skills, promote positive relationships, and discourage involvement in risky behaviors. Together, we can create a safer and more connected community for everyone involved.
Professional Players and Celebrity Involvement
Professional athletes and celebrities have a profound impact on youth, extending beyond sports by shaping attitudes and inspiring positive change. Our program is proud to collaborate with local professional sports players from esteemed National Championship Teams who reside in our community.
- NFL Teams (e.g., Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins)
- NBA Teams (e.g., Orlando Magic and Miami Heat)
- NHL Team (e.g., Tampa Bay Lightning)
- NBL Teams (e.g., Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins)
- FIFA and the United Soccer League (USL) (e.g., The Rowdies)
As athlete mentors, professional players can play a pivotal role in inspiring and guiding youth towards a brighter future. Their guidance and support not only make participants feel recognized but also set them on the path to success. By serving as role models, they profoundly influence how teens perceive themselves and the world around them. With their support, we can unite efforts to focus on at-risk youth who are in need of a transformative lifestyle change.
Additionally, our program offers participants an avenue to pursue competitive gaming on a professional or semi-professional level if they demonstrate the necessary skills.
