BUILDING BETTER
HUMANS WITH
THE POWER OF SPORTS
Movement is Medicine. Sports are developmental community infrastructure. ShareWaves expands access to early childhood and strengthens the system that determines who plays, belongs, grows, and thrives.
The youth sports crisis isn’t a sports problem.
THE PROBLEM
60%
of kids quit sports by age 13
It’s a health crisis, an education crisis, a mental health crisis, a workforce-readiness crisis, and a community development crisis and it happens to show up through sports.
ShareWaves works on the system that determines whether kids get the developmental return sports can deliver.
THE APPROACH

medicine
ShareWaves works across a six-stage continuum from awareness through systems change to community impact. Programs support the continuum. The continuum is the strategy.
