Anchored Sports Youth Outreach
Empowering the Youth of Port-de-Paix, Haiti Through Sports, Faith, and Purpose
In a country where nearly 40% of the population is under the age of 15, the youth of Haiti hold the future in their hands—but far too many of them don’t have the guidance, resources, or opportunities to shape that future positively. That’s where Anchored Sports steps in.
Anchored Sports is a dynamic outreach program created to engage the youth of Port-de-Paix, Haiti in meaningful, life-changing activities. By combining the universal appeal of sports with structured Bible studies, community stewardship, and practical skill training, we are transforming idle time into purpose-driven growth.
Our Mission
To provide a safe, supportive, and spiritually nurturing environment where children and teens can grow physically, mentally, and morally—anchored in faith and grounded in community values.
Why Anchored Sports?
Too many children in Haiti face an overwhelming temptation to turn to the streets. With poverty, limited educational access, and crime threatening their development, many are left with too much unstructured time and too few positive role models. Anchored Sports aims to change that.
Through our program, we:
Introduce biblical teachings that shape character and instill hope.
Promote physical fitness and teamwork through organized sports.
Teach practical skills that can be used in everyday life and future careers.
Cultivate community pride and responsibility through local service projects.
Provide mentorship and guidance that help young people make positive life choices.
Program Activities
1. Sports Training & Development: Kids get hands-on training in soccer, basketball, volleyball, and other team sports that encourage discipline, teamwork, and confidence.
2. Bible Study & Spiritual Growth: Weekly small group sessions teach biblical principles, help youth discover their purpose, and offer mentorship that speaks to their struggles and dreams.
3. Community Stewardship: Participants engage in service projects—clean-up drives, helping neighbors, and small acts of kindness—to learn the value of giving back.
4. Life & Skill Training: Workshops in areas like basic trades, language learning, leadership, and personal finance equip children with tools for a better future.
The Impact
When a child is given direction, opportunity, and faith, they can rise above their circumstances. Anchored Sports is not just about playing games—it’s about changing lives.
We’re already seeing transformation. Children once at risk of criminal involvement are now leading their peers in prayer, teamwork, and service. With each game played, verse memorized, and skill learned, these youth are building brighter futures.
How You Can Help: Pray. Participate. Partner.
We’re always looking for people who believe in the power of faith and sport to partner with us—whether through prayer, volunteering, or financial support. Your involvement could be the anchor that keeps a child from drifting into a life of hopelessness.
Be a part of something bigger than a game. Be a part of Anchored Sports—where faith meets action and the future takes root.
