BEYOND BORDERS ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITY The Beyond Borders initiative is an international exchange program that connects student-athletes from underserved countries with educational opportunities in the United States. Founded in 2020, the program was inspired by the journey of Godswill "Muna" Chilaka, a Nigerian student-athlete who overcame multiple rejections to fulfill his dream of studying in the U.S. His perseverance and success motivated us to help other deserving young individuals from across the globe. Through partnerships with organizations in Nigeria and beyond, we aim to provide student-athletes (ages 12-17) with access to prep schools, athletic training, and holistic support to help them succeed both academically and athletically. Our goal is to guide these students "to-and-through" college, ensuring they are equipped with the tools to reach their full potential.
