Background, Goal and Mission Statement


BACKGROUND

The concept of the VAC Training Initiative is a collaborative effort between, the Detroit Recreation Department (DRD), the Youth Sports and Recreation Commission (YSRC now known as the Youth Development Commission - YDC), and the Sports Administration Department at Wayne State University (WSU). We have initiated and provided a coaching and sports management-training program for the residents of Detroitand the Metropolitan Area. The program was originally funded by the Skillman Foundation.

GOAL

To provide quality year-round training opportunities for adult volunteers, coaches, and sport administrators who participate in and/or supervise youth athletic programs in Detroit, and the Metropolitan Area. The training program will also produce leaders for recreational activities in their communities.

MISSION

To equip adult participants with the knowledge and awareness to ensure quality practices and strategies for youth activities. VAC training will also provide education about the skills necessary to enhance the physical and emotional well being of the youthful participants involved in organized sports in Detroit, and the Metropolitan Area.
