We made the dream come true with the DREAM Mobile! Created by Come Play Detroit, the DREAM Mobile provides recreational programming that comes right to your doorstep. We partner with Detroit schools, camps and afterschool programs to expand extracurricular options for students. From sports to STEAM, there’s something for everyone!
DREAM Mobile provides our own trained staff to come and provide various forms of play, from sports, arts and crafts, dance and more! In addition, we work with the youth organizations to determine what additional programs they would like their youth to get to experience. Youth organizations pick from our menu of partners that specialize in various programs, and we outsource them to bring their offerings to the youth organizations.
Whether it’s during a class time, recess, or after school activity, we are able to help fill in the gaps that may exist in current curriculum, or be an add-on to already existing offerings. In addition, we are available for special events as well, including park activations and special events! Check out the Website and video below. 

PSL stands out for its commitment to advocacy and public policy as a central part of its mission, using sport as a platform to advance equity across the Pittsburgh region. PSL defines equity as fair access, treatment, and rights under the law and within society, and that principle is embedded throughout its programming, partnerships, and organizational priorities. Its advocacy agenda was developed collaboratively with members, partners, staff, board leadership, and community stakeholders, ensuring it reflects a broad range of voices and lived experiences. Rather than treating community involvement as a side initiative, PSL has made it central to how the organization operates, demonstrating how a social sports club can move beyond the field to drive awareness, inclusion, and meaningful local impact.

Hive Athletic and our nonprofit arm, the Hive Sports Foundation, are committed to giving back to the neighborhoods where we play by creating inclusive programs that welcome everyone. We believe every child regardless of background, socioeconomic status, gender, or sexual orientation deserves the opportunity to experience the joy, confidence, and connection that sports provide.

Each year, we put that belief into action by sponsoring multiple youth softball, football, and baseball teams; awarding four scholarships to graduating high school student-athletes who best embody the spirit of Hive Athletic; donating computers to college-bound athletes; sending kids to camps they otherwise couldn’t afford; and providing much-needed equipment and jerseys. We also organize volunteers to help coach and support youth programs doing whatever it takes to make participation possible.

This year, we expanded our impact by launching our first-ever youth kickball league. Through partnerships with two local summer camps, we ran a six-week league serving more than 150 kids completely free of charge. It quickly became something the kids looked forward to every week and a powerful example of how community partnerships can remove barriers and create meaningful, joyful experiences through sport.
