Future Plans: PRIDE Training Centers

Team PRIDE will employ graduates of the PRIDE Leadership Careers program to offer Karate for Kids classes to low-income children in underserved areas. These graduates will run PRIDE Training Centers in elementary schools, YMCA facilities, Boys & Girls Clubs and churches.

The PRIDE Training Centers will serve the same target populations, and offer the same services, as the PRIDE Karate Kid Vouchers. The difference is that instructors at PRIDE Training Centers will be graduates of the PRIDE Leadership Careers program, and they will operate as employees of Team PRIDE rather than as independent martial arts school owners. PRIDE Training Centers will be non-commercial, nonprofit martial arts schools that make the benefits of Karate for Kids classes available to children whose financial circumstances exclude them from the commercial martial arts market.
