Department Of State Partners With NBA/WNBA For Overseas Youth Outreach
May 31st, 2010 | Posted by Queen of Sports in Basketball,Charity,Politics
The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs SportsUnited Office has partnered with the NBA and WNBA for the 6th consecutive year for a series of Sports Envoy programs this summer.
From May to August, current and former NBA and WNBA players will travel as Sports Envoys to four regions of the world reaching youth in Indonesia, Tunisia, Serbia, Cape Verde and Malawi. The basketball players and coaches will conduct drills and team-building activities, as well as engage local youth in a dialogue on the importance of education, teamwork, leadership, and respect for diversity.
Since 2004, 39 NBA and WNBA players and coaches have visited 17 different countries for the SportsUnited Office, where they have conducted hundreds of basketball clinics for thousands of young boys and girls and coaches.
