About us

Since 2005, Affirmative Athletics has worked within Los Angeles juvenile probation facilities, providing a positive outlet for incarcerated youth. Our program shows how writing and organized sports can inspire youth to plan, prepare, execute then assess team and individual performances while appreciating every step in their weekly journey. Affirmative Athletics has had phenomenal success in mentoring over four-hundred young incarcerated boys at different probation facilities. For more visibility, we are now working with Los Angeles continuing education programs to provide an affirming curriculum for students needing structure and mentoring.
