About Us

1717 Foundation

Faith in Motion

The 1717 Foundation is a youth development organization dedicated to empowering young people through mentorship, athletics, leadership development, and family support.

We help boys and girls build discipline, character, confidence, and the life skills needed to succeed on and off the field. Through strength and conditioning, sports training, academic accountability, journaling, and meaningful relationships, we challenge every young person to reach a higher standard.

Inspired by Proverbs 17:17

“A friend is loyal, and a brother is there through any adversity”.

The 1717 Foundation is built on loyalty, accountability, and brotherhood and sisterhood. We create a community where young people know they are supported, valued, and never alone during difficult seasons.

Our mission is bigger than developing athletes—we are helping develop strong leaders, healthy families, and a stronger community through faith in motion.
