Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

USE THE POWER OF SPORT TO EFFECT POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE. WE EDUCATE AND EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS AND ORGZNIZATIONS BY INSPIRING VALUES-BASED THINKING LEADING TO ACTIONS THAT PROMOTE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND EQUALITY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE MISSION OF THE INSTITUTE FOR SPORT AND SOCIAL JUSTICE (ISSJ) IS TO CREATE WORLDWIDE SOCIAL JUSTICE THROUGH THE POWER OF SPORT.

  • Huddle-Up (HU) is a leadership-infused educational program that utilizes active learning strategies to maximize interactive dialogue and enhance participant learning. HU is subdivided in three key areas: 1. HU to Prevent Gender Based Violence focuses on preventing all forms of men's violence against women, and addresses the full continuum of abusive behaviors and empowering participants to understand how misogynistic language, sexual harassment, gendered bullying, sexual assault, rape and domestic violence are linked together. It is a multi-racial mixed gender program that introduces and develops the bystander approach to violence prevention. 2. HU for Diversity Equity and Inclusion focuses on building community and building trust, embracing vulnerability as a leadership skill, discusses the power of language, the power of symbolism, unconscious bias and allyship, equality vs equity and empowers participants to understand how privilege, bias, discrimination and stereotypes can create an unwelcome environment. This program seeks to engage, empower, and equip organizations to rise to the social justice moment, inspiring leadership, increasing trust, and elevating the culture of the organization. 3. HU for Leadership Development educates and empowers student-athletes, coaches and athletics administrators through transformative experiences that develop strong, effective leaders, cultivate an inclusive community and enhance the college sports landscape.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
