Our Mission in Action

At Athletes Meeting Excellence (AME), we believe in more than just building athletic skills—we aim to uplift communities and empower families. Through dedicated programs, outreach initiatives, and strong community partnerships, we focus on improving the lives of underserved populations, including children from single-parent homes, families with an incarcerated parent, and those facing economic hardship

Supporting Single-Parent and Incarcerated Families

Why It Matters: Over 1 in 4 children in the U.S. grow up in single-parent homes, and many face barriers such as limited access to resources, mentorship, and education. AME steps in to bridge these gaps by offering programs that promote resilience, leadership, and academic success.

What We Do:

Mentorship programs designed to build confidence and purpose.
Financial literacy workshops to empower families and young athletes.
Leadership academies and summer leagues to encourage teamwork and discipline.

Serving Our Community

Annual Toy Drive

Each year, AME partners with local businesses and volunteers to distribute toys to children in need, spreading holiday joy and hope to families.

Feeding the Hungry:

Our feeding initiatives focus on providing warm meals and groceries to the homeless, underserved, and less fortunate. Through strategic partnerships and volunteer support, we’ve been able to serve hundreds of meals to those in need.

Outreach Programs:

From youth workshops to neighborhood cleanups, AME is on the ground, working to strengthen our community and create lasting change.
