CHOICES

CHOICES aims to influence urban community schools through the insights of positive role models who are usually both former athletes and ex-offenders. These mentors address critical thinking and social challenges, providing real-life solutions and encouraging students to make impactful CHOICES.

Our mission is to build awareness among High School athletes and students, providing them with strategies to navigate life’s challenges effectively. Our speakers share personal experiences and solutions, guiding students towards positive life decisions.

CHOICES programs are currently run in high schools in Bridgeport and Waterbury.

Working with the CHOICES Team, and having this program thrive in our school is a large reason why our suspension rate has significantly declined, why our chronic absenteeism rate has declined, and as to why student-athletes serve as leaders within the building. Student-athletes are now change agents, and difference makers.

— Michael Veronneau, Crosby High School Principal
