Concept
Phase 1: Enroll Student-Athletes
Once an academic partner is secured, we will begin scouting the north of the country for young players who demonstrate high potential in academics and football.
Phase 2: Construct Academy and facilities
With players enrolled in a local parter school and training after school in our program, we will seek funding to build and operate our own location for talent development.
Phase 3: Expand Academy resources and community accessibility
Contructing the Academy in phases will allow us to grow with the development of the student-athletes and the size of our program. Expanding resources to the community will be an important phase of development.
Phase 4: Build regional economic drivers
A well-resourced center of excellence will create a leading space for development. With increasing interest levels, the space can be further developed to serve the community, as the academic and performance spaces will create opportunities beyond the Academy's residents and generate additional economic benefits to the region.
Using a phased approach for investment and construction, we seek to build a world-class sports academy in the North of Haiti, complete with a private school, student residences, and other economic amenities that will benefit investors and the region.
Drawing upon the nation’s rich history of human empowerment, justice, and equality, we will target the north of the country near Cap Haïtien where iconic historical spaces remain and an infrastructure exists independent from Port-au-Prince.
Our spaces will be positive, encouraging, and intentional, aiming to reclaim the region’s education legacy and inspire courageous leaders. Given the lush nature of the north and the insular protection of the Massif du Nord mountains, we aspire to have many open spaces for collaboration. The facility will be constructed with the highest safety standards available, understanding that the nation is vulnerable to natural disasters. Sustainable energy harvest and storage will be important for daily operations and will be included in our ambitious plans.
This facility will focus on providing positive, productive pathways for highly talented young Haitians who are identified by its qualified staff. The facility will also inspire beyond those enrolled in its program. The surrounding economic space and the diaspora may also find inspiration in the quality and nationalism harkened in its construction, message, and quality of education. In the later stages of its development, it will be an economic hub capable of drawing foreign investment and attracting diaspora members to visit, work, or invest.
The space, its function, and its people will highlight Haiti as a location of excellence. With its graduation of excellent role models in sports and academics, we believe our location will grow to exhibit facilities capable of hosting national and international events, showcasing the nation, its culture, and economy as a model for future development and positive Haitian attention.
