This Must Change, Now! 2 out of 5 kids today live in a home without their biological father There are 10 million single mothers raising their children 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes 85% of youth in prison come from fatherless homes 90% of homeless and runaway children come from fatherless homes 63% of youth suicides come from fatherless homes 135,000 kids are carrying guns to school

To say we have a character and values problem with our leaders of tomorrow is a huge understatement.

Playmakers seek to teach the values and character traits that give our youth a playbook for becoming a responsible adult. We accept this role to assist single moms who have the challenge of parenting with fewer resources than they need in today’s confusing times.

The Right Mentor Teaching Values and Character: The right mentor may be closer than you think. It can be a trained coach who understands his role in the bigger picture. The bigger picture can include True masculinity Values for life Character and what that means Serving others first

What Makes Our Approach Special? We teach these important life skills with qualified coaches who have developed a relationship with kids who will listen both on the field and off. When this relationship between coach and young person exists, learning life lessons can be accelerated.

Where Kids Want to Learn: Our classroom is the football field. Our character and values based camps teach by creating a place that kids and coaches want to attend, a football camp for youth and high schoolers. Our “Pay it Forward” tuition means the kids and coaches attending agree to perform structured Playmaker led community serving activities when called upon. The serving done in the community teaches the value of serving others first. These camps are held nationwide serving over 600 kids and 150 coaches last summer.
