Growth Opportunities through Athletics, Learning & Service
thumbGOALS – Growth Opportunities through Athletics, Learning & Service is a nonprofit organization based in Anaheim, California, which offers programs to aid low income children in the Anaheim area. GOALS is currently headquartered in central Anaheim and has community partnerships organized in 12 "greater Anaheim" communities in the cities of Anaheim, Placentia and Fullerton.
==Origins==
GOALS was originally established in 1994 as an outgrowth of the Walt Disney Company's acquisition of the then named Mighty Ducks of Anaheim professional hockey franchise. Since then this not for profit program has expanded into many low income communities, fielding a combination of educational enrichment, team and fitness oriented athletics, and community service activities where GOALS youth help others. While GOALS is by far the worldwide leader in providing ice hockey access for minority children,〔The Vancouver Sun April 28, 2007〕 the program has taken major strides in other sports opportunities such as lacrosse, soccer, tennis and roller hockey. Currently, the program involves more than 2,000 youth ages 6 to 19 each year. GOALS operates indoor and outdoor facilities, a bus fleet, and provides necessary equipment, insurance, coaching, teaching and supplies at no charge to participating youth. GOALS organizes activities within designated under served communities and links those areas to central GOALS facilities with a community bus network. One of the hallmarks of the GOALS program is that youth are required to serve through a "Summer of Service" in an arm of the program called GOALS Cadets. This initiative is an effort to read storybooks to children in school, clean up parks, paint out graffiti - through a program called GOALS CityPride,〔Orange County Register - Anaheim Bulletin August 13, 2009〕 coach disabled young people through GOALS Special Sports, visit veterans at local VA hospitals, and pack food for local food distribution centers that support the poor.
