Just like athletes learn that teamwork leads to more goals or baskets scored, youth who participate in service-learning discover that cooperation with teammates and families can solve pressing issues in the community.
Through service-learning, athletes will come to understand that the same teamwork, leadership, responsibility and determination that enable them to succeed on the field can also help address problems in the community.
