History & Leadership

Our History

Give and Go Athletics was founded in 2009 when co-founders Andre and Caleb were working as Behavioral Health Therapists at Reynolds Elementary School in Sharswood, North Philadelphia. At this time, extra curricular activities for elementary and middle schools were cut from the School District of Philadelphia’s budget. Consequently, young students throughout the city were left with a shortage of programs to occupy their time from 3:00 to 6:00 PM after school. This shortage of programs led to flash mob attacks and hundreds of misled youth. As a result, the first Give and Go Athletics after school program was created to meet the needs of our city's youth.
