Creating a Just World Through the Power of Sport
Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society uses sport as a platform to make the world a better place. The Center has three areas of focus, which includes the following:
1) Facilitating training in our world renowned social justice education programs; MVP, which focuses on preventing gender-based violence, and ProjectTeamwork, a diversity and inclusion program. 2) Serving as a global resource for sport-based youth development organizations through academic credentialing and professional development. 3) Tackling the issue of social injustice at its core by providing access to higher education by creating local, national and global partnerships for degree completion. 4) Engaging the community through education, training, service and sport to promote positive cultural change.
