These programs give participants an opportunity to work with professional athletes, coaches and instructors. Our program goals are to build self esteem, learn the importance of education, work ethic, listening skills and how to work with others. Since our inaugural year, over 11,000 student-athletes have participated in MEFIYI programs.
