Our Work Is For The Community
Our work equips youth to serve as role models, inspiring others to pursue excellence and resilience in both personal and team centered goals. By fostering leadership, financial literacy, and a commitment to giving back, our work strengthens community bonds and encourages social responsibility. This work promotes a culture of health, empowerment, and positive change, uplifting not just the youth we impact but everyone they influence.
Internship and Career Pathway Program
The Internship and Career Pathway Program (ICPP) is a transformative initiative designed to prepare college students and recent graduates for success.
OUR CORE PROGRAMMING
At Athletes Meeting Excellence (AME), we are committed to helping athletes and students succeed not just in sports, but in life. Our comprehensive programs support mental health, education, financial literacy, and leadership development to empower youth, promote wellness, and prepare them for a brighter future.
Featured Events
Best of the Best Summer League
Each summer, the Best of the Best Summer League brings together over 200 youth athletes from Erie and surrounding areas for five weeks of competitive basketball, skill-building workshops, and college preparation activities
Youth Spring Break Camp
The Youth Spring Break Camp is more than just a traditional camp—it’s an opportunity for young participants to learn valuable life skills, enhance their athletic abilities, and gain tools for success both in and out of school.
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.
Support AME
For every $550 donated to our cause another youth gets to participate in our programs for a year.
Support Youth Participating In Sports
Our ongoing initiative focuses on breaking down barriers to youth sports participation by providing essential resources like equipment, uniforms, and access to facilities. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the benefits of sports, including teamwork, discipline, and confidence. Together, we can create a future where every youth has the chance to play, grow, and excel both on and off the field.
