Coach Marquis Impacts Kids Through Sports

Dear Marisa, Jonathan, Jamie, Robin, Martin, and Mark,

Coach Marquis is a Coach Across America member in Andover, MA. Coach Across America (CAA) is an AmeriCorps program launched by Up2Us to provide its member organizations with the support needed to train and host highly effective coaches in sports and youth development throughout the United States.

Coach Marquis’ first sport was basketball but he was exposed to rowing while in graduate school.  Coach Marquis said he could see how sports can impact a young person’s life. He joined CAA because he sees sports as a way to provide high quality experiences to motivate kids in different aspects of their lives. “I view sports as a powerful tool for kids who have little opportunity.”

Thanks to all of your donations, Coach Marquis can continue to inspire and empower kids through sports.  Thank you all for making it possible for Marquis to keep coaching kids for the next year!
