ACADEMIC MENTORING PROGRAM

Crossover Mission is committed to nurturing the full potential of our student athletes through our program, the Accelerate My Potential (AMP) program. AMP is a mandatory, comprehensive academic support, intervention, and enrichment initiative for all student athletes aged 10-18 who attend Crossover during the school year. With transportation provided from their schools directly to our newly-renovated Crossover Mission Center for Excellence, AMP ensures that every student can easily access the resources they need to succeed.

AMP is structured around three core components:

1. Extended Support
2. College & Career Readiness
3. Independent Study

Recognizing that each student has unique academic needs, we implement a data-driven Individualized Mentoring Plan for each athlete. This approach not only targets grade improvement in core academic areas but also fosters positive behavior in school, ensures a 100% non-offense rate, and prepares students for vocational training programs, college admissions, and future careers. Through both group and one-on-one mentoring, we emphasize the importance of academic empowerment and consistent accountability from elementary through high school.

Our academic mentoring extends beyond traditional learning; it is about cultivating growth mindsets, character development, and etiquette as well as encouraging confident self-expression and broadening worldviews. Students meet multiple times during the week at Crossover’s Center for Excellence with their assigned mentors who include program staff, coaches, and trained volunteers. These sessions are designed to provide tailored academic support, engagement with our online training programs, and a personal connection that guides them towards academic and personal growth. For students facing academic challenges, such as failing a class or maintaining a GPA below 2.0, we engage actively with parents to reinforce our support network, ensuring that every student has the tools and guidance they need to excel.

Crossover’s AMP program is more than just an academic initiative; it is a commitment to the holistic development of our student athletes, ensuring they are not only ready for the challenges of academics but are also well-prepared to navigate the complexities of life with confidence and integrity.
