Our program gives these students the courage, and drive to achieve more for themselves."Goals For Life first matches an athlete with at-risk students. As Berry is also President of the National Football League Players Association, L.A Chapter, he is able to enlist other retired players to volunteer their services.
Students, aided by the athlete, identify obtainable goals and what factors may prevent them from being reached. A game plan is then implemented with individual steps with accountability so the goals may be achieved.The Goals For Life also help schools; communities, families and peers support the student with this program."When Reggie Berry addressed the City of Garden Grove Community Foundation he had great ideas to share with young people, and we were impressed with the way he delivered them," states Bruce A Broadwater, Mayor of Garden Grove. "From the feedback we received through the school district the kids really enjoyed him. Reggie didn't speak above them, but to them. He understands the kinds of pressures they confront every day, and teaches them ways to overcome these obstacles and to feel proud of themselves," adds Broadwater.
"Yogi Berra quipped, "If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else."
