ABOUT US

In 2020, the Position Sports DREAM Initiative was established to recognize and celebrate the distinct opportunities that our industry provides in uniting groups for a common goal. We strive to establish an equitable and inclusive sports business environment. As part of this initiative, Position Sports established the DREAM Foundation as a way to support underserved college students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities aspiring for a career in the sports industry.

PARTICIPATE

The DREAM Foundation offers the DREAM Program, a unique mentorship program for students from Historically Black College and University sports business programs. Students will complete a 10-week virtual program, learning real-world skills including networking opportunities (virtually), resume building, interacting with sports business professionals, and completing a client-based interactive group project. Mentees will also have an opportunity to work at a live sporting event, gaining hands-on experience in areas such as event support, marketing strategy, sponsorship sales, communications, and social media.

PARTNERS

The DREAM Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization driven to foster a diverse and inclusive sports industry. We are committed to helping students interested in entering the sports industry through education, mentorship, and providing access to individuals who may lack these necessary resources or opportunities. With the support of your sponsorship or partnership, we will positively impact the student’s professional journey with diverse, enriching, and life-changing experiences aimed at supporting those desiring a career in sports.
