Institute for Sport and Social Justice

At the Institute, we believe in the transcendent power of sport to change the world. We unleash that power by educating, empowering, & inspiring individuals, organizations, & the global community to live their values in standing up for equity, inclusion, & social justice.

Founded by civil rights icon & activist Dr. Richard Lapchick, the Institute has been an innovator in collegiate & professional sport organizations since its inception in 1985, & specializes in addressing the needs of high-profile groups. The Institute delivers training, technical assistance, research, & policy development focused on leadership, equity, & social justice. Inspired by Dr. Lapchick’s life and work, we seek to “stand up for justice & not block its path.”
