How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Non-Competitive, Individualized Inclusion Model
    methodology: non_competitive_inclusion
    By replacing competition with flexible, open-ended, and individually adapted programming, the organization enables youth with disabilities to experience success, confidence, and belonging on their own terms because removing performance pressure reduces barriers to participation and supports developmental growth through personal progress rather than comparison.
  • One-on-One Coaching Model
    methodology: one_on_one_coaching
    By pairing youth with disabilities one-to-one with volunteer coaches in non-competitive physical activities, the organization fosters personalized engagement, relational presence, and individual development because consistent, adaptive relationships promote emotional safety, self-directed progress, and inclusion more effectively than group or competitive models.
  • Universal Inclusion Through Volunteer Empowerment
    methodology: universal_inclusion_volunteer_model
    By designing programs to include individuals across all disability types and severities and equipping untrained volunteers with just-in-time training and individualized profiles, the organization achieves scalable inclusion because lowering the barrier to volunteer participation expands capacity while maintaining personalized, effective support for each athlete.
