Champion Athletes Academy

The purpose of the Champion Athletes Academy is two-fold. Elite student-athletes support the local community through Educational Services and the Champion Fuel Food Programs, serving thousands of at-risk youth across the state of Texas, with compensation earned in the process.  

In return, Be A Champion partners with local businesses and leaders to provide exposure for the student-athletes’ impact on the communities through their work in Educational Services and Champion Fuel Food Programs. This provides opportunities for new partnerships, expanding programs and outreach throughout the community.

The Champion Athletes Academy operates within several Texas Gulf Coast area colleges and universities. Some partnerships includes:

Our Champion Athletes are able to earn employment opportunities for their efforts in serving their community while still excelling in their sport and in the classroom. The program is flexible and has an enormous impact on the communities we serve. As athletes advance in their athletic and professional careers, the work, training, and skills they receive at Be A Champion will propel them into new opportunities, opening the door to excellence, as well as personal and professional growth.

The Champion Athletes Academy is a new program through Be A Champion, Inc., 
 
This program provides an opportunity for student-athletes to support the local community through Educational Services and the Champion Fuel Food Programs, serving meals, snacks, and milk to thousands of at-risk youth across the state of Texas.
 
Student-athletes get hands-on job experience, all while making an impact in the community. Through valuable community service, these student-athletes learn to work alongside others for a common cause. Student-athletes also learn the importance of being role models for youth – both for those they are serving meals to and those they work alongside. 

Champion Athletes also gain experience with cultivating and forming their philanthropic brand through social media, sharing about their experiences, and representing the organization on a public platform. As brand ambassadors, Champion Athletes learn and develop proper social media engagement and communication skills to become responsible influencers.

The impact of the Champion Athletes Academy has been tremendous for the local communities and student-athletes since the program started.
