About
As UKSD has evolved over the years, one mission has always been at the core of the work we do. The foundation of our program is developing community minded youth leaders, while enabling them to foster a desire to make an impact locally, as well as globally.
We work with teens throughout the U.S., teaching them to use sports as a means of community connection, education, self-identity awareness, diversity appreciation, and as a means by which they can develop both their skills and their character.
UKSD focuses on educating our participants about social issues that affect young people both locally and across the globe. These points of education are aligned with topics from the U.N. sustainable development goals. It is our mission to educate and create leadership opportunities through community service projects based on the topics below, in an effort for our members to become leaders and be the change they wish to see in the world

Programs
KP4FP - Kidz Play 4 Free Project
Each year, our KP4FP programs allow young people, regardless of their race, socio-economic background, or abilities, the opportunity to participate. We are able to provide a safe place for children to not just play, but to truly bring the community together through sports, as we encourage diverse groups to collaborate and work together.
Furthermore, these programs are organized and implemented by qualified coaches, educators, and trained peer leaders. It is our mission to provide instruction for the whole child. Sports are merely a piece of each program, as we also work to raise awareness about social issues, teach life skills, promote physical and mental health and wellbeing, and to increase student engagement within schools.
Projects Through Play
Our Projects Through Play model combines experiential education, purposeful play, and project-based learning philosophies. Our staff is comprised of coaches who have decades of experience as main-stream educators and sports coaches. Because of this, we have been able to create a program that uses exploration and movement curriculums for young people to truly learn about social issue topics and empower youth to take control of their own education. The UKSD Projects Through Play model allows UKSD coaches to work alongside and facilitate students and educators while they design and create their own projects and social awareness initiatives. We believe that our methodology not only helps build life skills and social awareness, but it also empowers participants to create and sustain their own projects.
