I coached youth football from 08-15. Had to give it up after I had my daughter, but Im still around the program when I can be.
Besides mentoring young men, we did Christmas drives, back to school events for them, and whenever something would happen would team up and help folks out. Like clothes drives, food drives, etc. Single Moms coming home and finding their stuff sitting on the lawn due to an eviction, or an apt fire, etc. 5 levels of football, with about 5 coaches a piece, plus team Moms, and Cheer Coaches all pitching in to help a family/child out in a time of need. Its great.
Got some kids to travel around the country too.
I didn't make this particular trip, but we had kids 12U+ travel to Vegas for a tournament. Hell, I still haven't been to Vegas.
Even more, coaching ball keeps our youth off the street, via practice, games, team building events, and simple ish like hanging out at a coach house for the weekend.
That's probably my biggest contribution.
I try to get as many black people I know, or come in contact with to think more about lowering cost, saving, and investing. Just being more financially stable overall.
Last thing, I try to do, that I actually think goes a lil unnoticed, but helps out tremendously, is getting people to actually talk about their plans and goals in life. A Lot of folks have surface layer ideas that are really good that can lead to something with just a bit more thought and push behind it.
Those types of convos are great, because it not only get their brains flowing, it makes mine flow as well.
