A few weeks ago one of our friends asked if Tristan might be interested in "mentoring" her son as a volunteer to be a buddie for her son in the spring Friday Night Flag Football League. When I asked Tristan he was so excited! Jadon is the little brother of one of his good friends from church. I loved everything about his! Here is a little about Game Changers of Idaho
Our Mission
To
find those who seek to spread goodness, so that others may be
fulfilled, by offering a variety of opportunities for kids with and
without disabilities. Doing so leads to the power of inclusion; bringing
children of all abilities together and showing that even though we are
all different, we are also the same. We often use sports as a vehicle to
create relationships and to focus on the ability of children, rather
than the disability.
Volunteers
From
kids to adults, we surround ourselves with like minded individuals
whose drive is to foster inclusion within our communities. Outside of
sports, we believe in teaching empathy, patience and understanding to
volunteers starting as early as kindergarten. This team of volunteers
are changing the way we view sports by truly enjoying the game for what
it is. A game.
Our Philosophy
There are amazing people in the world that truly want to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Whether feeding the homeless, building orphanages, or charity walks with loved ones, the world will always need more help. We believe each and every one of us, regardless of ability, age, or gender can do more to make the world a better place. What are we doing on a day to day basis, to make the lives of those around us better? Our purpose is to build a culture where helping others becomes a habit.
Here are a few shots from tryouts.
