Affirmative Athletics

Affirmative Athletics is a non-profit youth diversion development program based in Los Angeles, CA, dedicated to providing mentorship and community engagement through organized sports and creative expression for at-promise youth in juvenile probation facilities. Established in 2005, the program has successfully created a structured platform that promotes mental and emotional development through activities such as journal writing and organized flag football and basketball.

With a mission to reimagine juvenile justice, Affirmative Athletics fosters safe and competitive environments where incarcerated young boys can build interpersonal relationships and develop their character. Through facilitated workshops, team practices, and community events, the program helps participants document their experiences, celebrate their achievements, and connect with mentors and guest speakers who offer invaluable guidance.
