The Antetokounmpo Academy is a pro bono basketball and life skills program, dedicated to changing the lives of young people through the power of sport. Our hope is to provide our athletes with inspiration and skills that build character, and work ethic, and teach them what it means to be a good teammate, skills like healthy communication, conflict resolution, and active listening. Given that our athletes hail from over 35 different countries, we also know how important it is to learn from and embrace teammates that look, speak, or live differently than you do.
