To find passionate individuals who seek to spread goodness, so that others may be fulfilled, by offering various opportunities for youth with and without disabilities. Doing so brings young people of all abilities together, demonstrating that even though we are all different, we are also the same. We often use sports as a vehicle to create relationships and highlight the abilities of children, rather than their disabilities.
Game Changers Idaho was founded by Gabriel Moreno in the fall of 2018. Before we were officially a Non Profit, we were a small Adaptive Flag Football Program that offered an opportunity for kids with and without disabilities to play together. Since that time, we have grown into offering a variety of sports, reaching out to more kids along with Special Education programs in the Treasure Valley so they too have the chance representing their school colors in sports. We believe that every child, regardless of ability, should have every opportunity to play sports to their fullest potential. We want to be another source in the community where our participants are able to create friendships, to be included into team sports and to show what they are truly capable of doing. While playing sports, we are also teaching kids of all abilities what it truly means to help one another. Our volunteers range from Kindergartners to Adults where we are able to teach everyone patience, empathy and how to be leaders on and off the field. The first step is by being a genuine human being.
From kids to adults, we surround ourselves with like minded individuals whose drive is to foster inclusion within our communities. Outside of sports, we believe in teaching empathy, patience and understanding to volunteers starting as early as kindergarten. This team of volunteers are changing the way we view sports by truly enjoying the game for what it is. A game.
