Adaptive Sports
for Social Change
In collaboration with Clemson University, San Diego Diplomacy Council and Kids Play International, we promote social change for underserved youth – primarily those with disabilities – in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Korea, Myanmar and Thailand, through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. This project, Adaptive Sports for Social Change (ASSC), provides sports trainings for youth, coaches and sports administrators that will help to establish sustainable life-changing sports programs. ASSC’s impact will creates a positive shift in attitudes within communities towards individuals with disabilities thereby creating social change for this underserved population. ASSC will encompass all people regardless of differences in race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, geographic origin, socioeconomic status, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity.
