Our Values

COMPETE Youth’s core values include:

· A safe space for all students and athletes.

· A call to action for equitable access in sport for urban youth especially girls, LGBTQ* identified youth, first generation or undocumented youth and all other minority youth.

· Athletics to be an integral vehicle for social change and inclusion.

· We believe regular physical activity is instrumental in developing healthy youth mentally, emotionally and physically.

“We envision a world where all youth, including the most underserved and underrepresented; feel welcomed and supported to compete in sports and the sports industry.”

WhY COMPETE?

GLSEN analyzed the responses of more than 8,584 students between the ages of 13 and 20 in high schools and middle schools across the country. The research, which found “critical gaps in safety and support,” revealed that LGBT youth not only feel unsafe, but that they’re also underrepresented on athletic teams and aren’t fully backed by school staff and policies.

Sports require a place to participate – and for many girls, especially in dense urban environments, that means traveling to facilities through unsafe neighborhoods or lacking any means to get to a good facility miles away. And if there isn’t a safe option like carpooling with other families, the only option for a girl and her family may be to stay home.
