Prep and Sports
About Us
Prep and Sports is a non-profit organization founded in 2005 to help young people attain the education and inspiration to attend college.
"We are changing the lives of our future leaders in Palm Beach County through programs that provide academic guidance and athletic training.”
founder Tavarius Jackson
Prep and Sports prepares middle and high school students to take – and succeed - the ACT/SAT college standard tests. Prep and Sports is the only non-profit organization with the unique balance of education and athletics for South Florida youths.
The organization provides weekly educational guidance, life skill mentoring and athletic training (and coaching) at the Delray Beach Seacrest sports complex.
Business and community leaders, as well as city officials and professional athletes come and speak to Prep and Sports students on a weekly basis. These exemplary role models inspire and educate students to aspire to higher goals in their lives.
Our Work
The people of Prep and Sports believe that an athlete is much more than a body on a field or court. Our program is designed to both train the mind and body while inspiring our students to believe in the value of
opportunity, hope, and service to others.
