Partnership Overview: Friends of Community Preservation, and Pro's Development Foundation - Coaching Institute 

​

The Friends of Community Preservation 501(c)(3) have joined forces to create a transformative partnership focused on redefining the role of Physical Education (P.E.), Sports, and Academic Support in youth development. This collaboration combines decades of expertise, shared values, and a commitment to inclusivity to build a sustainable ecosystem that enriches sports, education, and society at large.

A Shared Vision for Change

Both Pro's Development Foundation and FCP operate with a mission to serve charitable, educational, and community support purposes. Established in April 2012, FCP has brought together a diverse team of professionals spanning education, social services, law, business, architecture, and community leadership to address critical gaps in youth development.

Recognizing the value of P.E. and Sports as fundamental elements of the educational ecosystem, this partnership supports the vision pioneered over four decades ago by the Pro's Development Foundation's Coaching Institute. This vision emphasizes holistic athlete and coaching development, ensuring that no student is excluded and every participant benefits from experimental learning, emotional intelligence, and skill-based growth.
