Second Round Foundation was born out of the idea that success doesn’t always look like a first round pick. Sometimes it’s the second round. The overlooked. 

The Second Round Foundation’s mission is to empower young people to determine their own success, regardless of background or circumstance.

We plant seeds of opportunity that create equity for young people through education, sport, and community. 

We believe in the potential of young people who deserve every opportunity to thrive.

Our mission is to ensure that young people who are under-resourced, under-represented, and under-estimated have the tools, guidance, and belief they need to achieve the future of their dreams—just like Jalen has done every day of his life.

We are committed to growing our reach, touching more lives, and creating a future where every young person has the chance to thrive.
