Program areas at Center for Healing and Justice Through Sport
Training and Consulting: The training program offers practical, innovative, and research- based learning experiences for coaches, organizations, government agencies, and businesses. Its content expertise ranges from theory to practice, but typically falls into three main content areas: 1) Healing-Centered Sport, 2) Social-Emotional Learning through Sport, and 3) Girls in Sport. All trainings and educational engagements are focused on how coaches, programs, or the sports culture as a whole can make a concerted effort to focus on healing, not harming. The consulting program provides top-to-bottom consulting services for programs, organizations, schools, government agencies, and businesses interested in deepening or measuring their impact. We leverage decades of experience pushing the bounds of what sport can do to help organizations reach their goals. Our consulting services include program and curriculum design, organizational strategy, and evaluation support.
Movement Building: CHJS movement building work represents the organizations efforts to change systems and norms within sport and society to create healthier and more just communities. CHJS movement building work focuses on building public narratives and taking collective action with aligned stakeholders. Building public narratives helps engage policy-makers, public officials, funders, government agencies, school districts, and others to capitalize on the opportunity that healing-centered sport provides. CHJS also initiates, leads, and participates in local and national coalitions dedicated to taking collective action to eradicate the play equity gap and ensure that all sports are healing.
