    Champions Building Champions

    Men As Peacemakers

    Champions Building Champions is a highly successful athletic mentoring program that connects Duluth youth with college athletes. With the help of our partners, Arrowhead Youth Soccer Association, UMD athletics, the Boys and Girls Club, and Duluth Parks, we run weekly sports sessions for youth. Our activities are free and open to everyone. We provide athletic opportunities for all youth, regardless of economic background.

    All activities are facilitated by collegiate athletes who focus on building constructive relationships with the youth involved.  By providing kids with strong male and female role models we strive to instill positive values: respect, gender equity, commitment, and leadership.
