About NYSPHSAA
NYSPHSAA is partnering with Team Up 4 Community to provide a FREE platform for students, coaches, teams, administrators, and schools to apply for the NYSPHSAA Community Service Challenge. A challenge will take place each sports season. A team does not need to be in season to apply. The NYSPHSAA SAAC will determine a winner after each season’s submission deadline.
Community Service is an integral part of the Interscholastic Athletic experience. Through community service, student-athletes, coaches, and administrators are able to give back to the communities that support them each and every day!
NYSPHSAA’s Community Service Challenge is a way to:
- Do something good for your community and yourself!
- Get your voice heard on what matters in your community and what problems should be addressed.
- Learn effective problem-solving, critical thinking, and project management skills.
- Strengthen your academic and social skills.
- Make academic content more relevant and practical…you get to use what you’re learning!
- Learn about potential careers by completing a project in collaboration with a community organization.
- Meet amazing people that you wouldn’t ordinarily get to meet. They’ll stretch the way you think about the world.
- Gain a sense of accomplishment.
