SportyMentor is a three-year-long European project (2022–2025) dedicated to empowering young people with challenging behaviors. By fostering a nurturing environment that integrates mentoring,
sports, and eco-citizenship activities, the project promotes well-being and supports the personal growth of youth, enabling them to thrive and reach their potential.

 Building on this mission, SportyMentor has developed an innovative approach that places young people at the heart of every initiative. Our program is thoughtfully designed to meet their needs, respect their
rights, and provide them with meaningful opportunities to relax, engage with sports, and connect with nature—ensuring their holistic development and empowerment.

Our mission and goals

Empowering 120 people (mentor and mentees): Over three years, we aim to pilot a proven mentoring program that builds self-confidence, social connections, and positive role models.

Innovative Methods: By combining mentoring, sports, and digital technology, we promote active, healthy lifestyles for adolescents and young adults.

Community Impact: We encourage young people to become active citizens and volunteers, strengthening their motivation and self-belief while inspiring their communities.

Positive Youth Development (PYD): Partnering with schools, NGOs, and sports clubs, we shift perspectives on youth potential and promote their vital role in society.

Digital and Social Inclusion: By incorporating digital tools into our mentoring program, we empower young people to develop essential digital skills while fostering social inclusion.

Connecting with Nature: Our program encourages participants to explore and appreciate their local environment, creating a deeper connection with their surroundings.
