Our Mission
Provide opportunity to children (K-12) who have a passion for sports.
We firmly believe that every child should be afforded the opportunity to participate in youth sports with an equal chance to succeed and reach their potential. This begins with access to the numerous benefits that sports can offer, including physical fitness, teamwork, discipline, and personal growth.
Our Goals
Provide an opportunity to your child to play sports and reach their potential - whether they are trying out a sport for the first time or have dreams of becoming a professional athlete.
Inform and educate parents and children. Studies show 70% of kids drop out of a sport by the age of 13. We provide education on the importance of youth organized sports and how it can have a positive effect on their lives and development.
What We Do
We, the Maine Youth Sports Opportunity Fund, offer financial aid to families who may struggle to afford the cost of youth sports camps, equipment and other activities. We help to ensure no child is left behind because of financial constraints - allowing them to fully participate and enjoy sports with confidence.
Our services are available to children of all backgrounds and abilities in Maine. It is important that every child feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged to pursue their passion for sports.
We are actively seeking partnerships with local sports organizations, youth leagues, small businesses, schools and individuals who share our vision of empowering youth through sports. Through these partnerships, we hope to maximize our impact and create a stronger sporting community here in Maine.
