About Coach Across America: Our mission is to engage, train, and support sports coaches to transform youth, programs, and communities. Our vision is that all children regardless of socioeconomic circumstances have access to highly trained coaches who can inspire their success in a game and in life, through the power of sports. Coach Across America leads a national service movement of AmeriCorps coaches who deliver daily physical activity programs to youth in the nation's most vulnerable communities. Our coaches are trained to use sports to teach life skills connected to positive outcomes related to health, education, and risk prevention. Headquartered in NY, Coach Across America has had a regional office in New Orleans since 2012. Since then, we have placed over 220 coaches that served over 6,000 kids across the city. Our coaches are placed at schools and after-school non-profit programs throughout New Orleans to provide in-school and after-school sports opportunities for all youth to be active, learn skills, and stay out of trouble through sports.
