Vantage Foundation Collaborates with Laureus to Empower Vulnerable Youth Through Sports
The partnership between Vantage Foundation and Laureus Sport for Good Foundation Spain marks a significant initiative aimed at utilizing the transformative power of sports to empower vulnerable youth. This collaboration is not just about providing physical activities; it’s about instilling values that can last a lifetime.
Laureus believes firmly in the capacity of sport to change lives for the better. With over 300 programs across the globe, the organization focuses on helping children and young adults develop resilience, a sense of belonging, and hope through sporting endeavors. By using sport as a catalyst for change, Laureus aims to reach underprivileged communities who are often overlooked.
During the initial meeting, Vantage Foundation representatives gained insight into the methodologies employed by Laureus. These methods go beyond the physical aspects of sport, as they emphasize critical life skills such as respect, teamwork, and determination. In offering a structured environment, Laureus provides a safe haven for youth, enabling them to build confidence and self-worth through collaboration and engagement in sports.
The relationship between the participants and Laureus coaches often evolves into one of trust and mentorship. For many young people who may be dealing with instability in other areas of their lives, having a supportive figure in sports fosters a sense of normalcy and motivation. The impact is profound, encouraging youths to pursue their dreams and envision a better future.
Moreover, the effects of Laureus’s programs ripple throughout entire communities. By bringing people together through the shared experience of sport, Laureus strengthens social connections and works towards creating a more inclusive society. The teachings of discipline, cooperation, and resilience acquired through sports have far-reaching benefits, equipping young individuals to face life’s challenges head-on.
As part of its commitment to creating social impact, Vantage Foundation is excited to align itself with Laureus’s mission. "It was truly inspiring to see how Laureus is changing lives through sport. This is work that strengthens individuals and builds more resilient societies," said Steven Xie, Executive Director of Vantage Foundation.
Vantage Foundation, established at the McLaren Technology Centre in 2023, has already formed partnerships with numerous global organizations, including iREDE Foundation in Nigeria and Instituto Claret in Brazil. Through these collaborations, the foundation aims to support initiatives that inspire hope and uplift communities worldwide.
