BOUNTIFUL BUILT is a development program designed to enrich the lives of student-athletes by preparing them for a promising future after high school athletics.
Centered on 3 core principles: Learn, Act, and Share, our program forms individualized plans that give credence to the student’s aspirations – academic, social, professional and personal and match opportunities that fit those goals.
Every student-athlete will be invited to learn through various teaching mediums including high school-accredited courses, diverse lecture series, and hands-on instruction where appropriate. Topics will be selected with the assistance of student-athletes and taught by leaders in the field. Business and subject-matter experts will educate student-athletes on developing critical life skills and growing professionally in a dynamic global economy.
Develop a first-class internship program that will assist student-athletes with obtaining bona fide professional opportunities that are targeted to the interests and skills of the individual. “Work” means work, and student-athletes may be paid only for work actually performed and at a rate commensurate with the job. Prospective employers will not hire interns for the intern’s marketability or utility under the internship program. The BOUNTIFULBUILT program representatives will provide student-athletes and partnering organizations with training and education.
BOUNTIFULBUILT encourages student-athletes to elevate their local and hometown communities through service initiatives. Student-athletes will be taught how to create philanthropic brands by actively serving and supporting causes of their choice. Tools and resources will be provided for individuals who wish to create and head 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations.
