About the Founder My name is Richard Foster, and I am the Executive Director/Founder of Skill and Faith Athletes, a non-profit organization, whose focus is to shape the whole child by changing their habits that will change their life by implementing the 8 dimension of wellness. We are working hard to make a difference in the community and need your support to continue. About us S and F Athletes (Skill and Faith) S and F Athletes began in 2011 out of a dream to build a community where ALL children have an opportunity to succeed. We are a 501(c)(3) designated non-profit organization that provides after school mentoring program to youth 1 – 6 grades, ages 6 - 12 in Low-income community within the City of Irving, TX. In our first four years, we worked with approximately 28 High School students. In that time, we saw 26 students successfully graduate and 14 continue onto college. While our success rates are markedly higher than the average, we recognized that we can make an even greater impact if we reach the students at a younger age. As a result, we redirected our focus to younger students. Since our launch, we have expanded our service through community partnerships with Georgia Farrow Recreation center in Irving. We have partner with Irving Police Department, Modeltude Agency and more. Through our curriculum and programming, we help our youth develop and maximize their full potential in academic, character, life skills, sportsmanship and health and wellness. Our Name S = Skill – your ability F = Faith – your confidence Athletes – willing to compete Vision Building character in our children creates a successful future and everyone benefits when a child succeeds. Mission Skill and Faith Athletes molds young men and women into well rounded individuals by teaching life skills and developing their passion for education, technology, health, and wellness.
