Testimonials



"I feel so fortunate to be a part of LTF. The kids that participate are smart, funny, and so excited to take part in the experience. I am convinced this program will have such a positive impact on the student's lives, it already has in mine."

- Ardith Johnson, Level The Field Volunteer

"I can honestly say that the most rewarding aspect of my soccer career, thus far, was when the Level The Field students came to one of our home games and cheered us (the Columbia Lions) on. That night I felt a huge sense of pride in being a part of the Level The Field program, and incredibly honored to have the students' support."

- Lindsay Denielson, Columbia University athlete, Women's Soccer

"LTF creates a fantastic educational experience through sporting events and clinics. More importantly the program exposes our kids to amazing personalities and facilities that stretch their imaginations and aspirations."

- Scott Waddell, Level The Field Volunteer, Columbia Men's soccer Alum

"I volunteered with LTF during the soccer clinic with the intention of giving some of my time to provide a positive experience in the lives of adolescents in our community - the same way many coaches and sports played a role in my childhood. But during the program I discovered that I got out of it as much as I gave, and then some."

- Brian Burke, Level The Field Volunteer

"Sports have played an incredible role in my life. I cherish the physical, mental and social development that sports have provided me, and I am excited about the opportunity to share that with WHEELS students."

- Katie Jones, Director of Development & Level The Field Volunteer
