Accountability For Life (AFL)

Accountability For Life (AFL) mentors at-risk student-athletes through a revival of the lost pathway of developing strong, traditional core values that were such a prevalent part of our parents’ and grandparents’ generations. We provide coaches, educators, and other community-based partners with a character-building resource toolkit aimed at promoting the importance of accountability in all areas of a student-athlete’s life. The toolkit helps to teach and model the concepts of integrity and requiring ownership of one’s actions. AFL’s time-tested “old school” approach arms students with the intangible tools they need to succeed in academics, behavioral and life skills, personal growth, benevolence, and leadership—all through the powerful vehicle of sports.

MISSION STATEMENT: 

AFL is committed to mentoring at-risk student-athletes for life-long success using an athletics-based platform to educate them on oft-forgotten yet simple, fundamental behaviors, concepts, and actions that have the power to define one’s course in life. 

RECENT NEWS: 

AFL's new facility at 755 Vogelsong Road, York, is now one year old, and our staff and student-athletes have reveled in having a home-base where all the focused mentoring and training is done in the context of forging genuine friendships, sharing good food, and building hope-filled futures. It was an exciting milestone in our nonprofit growth and was made possible by the long list of incredibly generous individual and business donors and local corporate and foundation interests that see the value in supporting AFL’s mission. And, whether you are a much-appreciated repeat-donor or a newcomer intrigued by our grass-roots efforts to “level the playing field of life” a bit, we invite you to help AFL continue growing and serving York’s underserved but amazing demographic of inner-city high school youth!
