Learning Success Program

Student-Athletes are feeling overwhelmed and stressed now more than ever before. Academics, sport performance, friends, peer pressure, social media, adolescent development, dating, employment, parents, and worrying about the future are all factors that contribute to this. The Learning Success program looks to support at-risk and marginalized students, and student-athletes who don’t have the support and resources needed to be successful. The goal of our Learning Success program is to guide, encourage and support youth to be responsible, balanced, healthy, happy, and more positive contributors to their family, school, sport and community.​
