Our Story
Past Successes
Zion Youth Football Program
In 2016, Zion began as a football program to offer underprivileged youth a positive outlet. The team provided a sense of community, hope, and purpose.
As the team developed, Zion won the state and national championships in 2017 and 2018. Many team members, who originally did not plan to pursue a higher education, were offered scholarships and attended the following universities:
Air Force | Arizona | Arizona State | Baylor | Brigham Young | BYU Hawai’i | Harvard | Idaho State | Iowa State | Nevada | Oklahoma State | Oregon | Oregon State | Puget Sound | Snow College | Southern Virginia | USC | Utah | Utah State | Utah Tech | Utah Valley | Washington | Weber State | William Penn
Academic Improvement
We have taken youth on college tours throughout the country to emphasize the importance of pursuing a higher education.
As an organization, we helped our youth increase their average GPA from 2.15 to 3.25 in only 4 months.
Spiritual Growth
As a result of our focus on drawing closer to Jesus Christ, many Zion participants have chosen to serve Our Heavenly Father and others through ecclesiastical service.
Zion participants have served as missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the following locations:
Argentina | Australia | Japan | Madagascar | Papua New Guinea | Peru | Samoa | Sierra Leone | Tonga | United States | Vanuatu
