KEEP THE GAME WITHIN REACH

Appreciation Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit creating access to youth sports for athletes who might otherwise be left on the sidelines.

We invest in athletes, teams, and youth sports programs that create opportunities for young people. We serve communities nationwide while building partnerships to extend our reach internationally and build greater appreciation for the lasting impact of youth sports and the coaches who help shape young lives.

Strengthening Youth Through Sports

What We Make Possible

Staying Engaged

Access to supportive sports programs helps athletes stay connected, develop purpose, and build lifelong habits that extend far beyond the game.

Building Confidence

Youth sports create confidence, belonging, and resilience—giving young athletes a place to grow both on and off the court.

Removing Barriers

Rising costs and limited resources are pushing too many kids out of sports. With the right support, more athletes can access the opportunities and community they deserve.

Opportunity Starts With Your Support

Help us provide resources and experiences for underserved youth athletes. With your support, AP can remove barriers, and create opportunities for youth who need it most.
