Community Impact · Montréal
Beyond the court.
Building kids for life.
Youth mentorship and academic support from the CHAMPS team. Real impact happens when young people gain confidence, a strong academic foundation and the resilience to thrive beyond sports.
At CHAMPS, athletic skill is only our starting point. Through weekly in-school mentorship and dedicated tutoring at our summer camps, our leadership team works directly with Montréal youth. We help them navigate adversity, stay on track in school and build habits that last a lifetime.
In-school mentorship
We don't just show up on game day. We're in the schools.
While many sports programs see athletes only on game day, CHAMPS is part of Montréal school communities every week.
Weekly mentorship at Lakeside Academy
Led by one of our Program Directors, this multi-year program gives students consistent one-on-one and small-group mentorship every week, for challenges in the classroom, at home and in daily life.
Academic and life accountability
Helping students who feel disconnected at school set realistic goals, manage deadlines and build daily structure.
Future planning and career vision
Guiding teens through high school transitions, trade and career exploration, and paths after high school.
Navigating teenage pressures
Honest, guided conversations about peer influence, social life and making good decisions under stress.
Mind-body discipline and confidence
Linking physical training to mental strength, using fitness, motivation and focus meditation to build self-esteem.
Team building
Structured group challenges that teach teamwork, conflict resolution and respect for one another.

Athletics and life skills, in every session.
To reach kids earlier, we brought our model to elementary students at Springdale Elementary. Every session is split in two.
One CHAMPS session
On the court
Fundamentals, active movement and team play.
In the classroom

Summer camp academic support
No summer slide. Just summer growth.
Long summer breaks can mean learning loss. We tackle it with a formal partnership that brings real tutors right into our camps.
