At All Sports, students earn an opportunity to pursue higher education through community service and mentoring. All Sports Community Service, Inc. was created to ensure students contribute to their communities through volunteerism, community service and mentoring. In return, these students are supported financially and emotionally towards their goal of obtaining a college education, with the assistance of committed adults.

All Sports offers first generation college-bound students and student athletes the opportunity to attend college or successfully pursue other career options with the assistance of mentors. As the first of their families with such an opportunity, they can often better their economic status and become mentors themselves for future generations.

The All Sports program aims to deliver a "high-five experience." The sense of teamwork and accomplishment gives the student the capability to build momentum towards achieving one's goals; in this case, a college degree. The program is developed around the concept of two tiers and four quarters of an individual's educational process.

The Wellspring Foundation grant supported All Sports after school tutoring and mentoring program at Academy Prep in Tampa, Florida. The middle-school boys in the program are mentored by a group that meets twice weekly and consists of a paid part-time graduate mentor and a team of four volunteers.

LaBrawn Saffold is the graduate mentor and founder of this group. LaBrawn is at Academy Prep three days a week, making sure that everyone stays on track. He began his work at Academy Prep with a student who was just a couple of days from flunking out of the school. Encouraged and tutored by LaBrawn, the young man is now on the Honor Roll.

The team of volunteers includes Buccaneer Will Allen who attends on Tuesday afternoons and has provided game tickets for 12 of the students. (If a student raises his grades, he gets to go to a football game. This is a powerful reward for young people.) The second member of the team is high school student Charles George. Until recently, Charles lived with his family in a homeless shelter. In the summer he had the opportunity to participate in a leadership conference in Washington, DC, and one in Sacramento. He learned many new skills that he utilizes at Academy Prep. The third member of the team is Ovie Esaloni, a college student and football player, as well as tutor to the kids. Many of the Academy Prep kids aspire to play sports, so they love talking with Ovie.
