They Not Only Excel at Their Sport
They are Mentors for their Peers
Hopefull Handbags Global Trinidad and Tobago began the HH Sports ambassador and mentor program and it’s spreading globally. These teens and young adults are being guided by our sports professionals and going through our Hopefull Handbags Global education and mentor program. They are trusted mentors among their peers and have adults they can go to for guidance. Hopefull Handbags Global Sports Ambassador and Mentor Program trains teen and young adult athletes to use the love of their sport to reach their peers who may be in abusive situations to find the confidence, support and HOPE they need to reach their full potential.

Some of our Athletes
Gabriella Wood to attend the 2020 Olympics. She represented both her country and Hopefull Handbags Global spreading awareness about the issue of domestic abuse at an international level.Domestic abuse is abuse that happens in the home. This not only happens between spouses but also with children and teens living in abusive homes and also with dating abuse.
How it Works
Teen athletes in the program sign a one-year contract to promote the message of Hopefull Handbags Global at places such as schools, programs, and shelters to talk peer-to-peer with fellow teens and college age kids. They help them learn of resources available to them for assistance, provide emotional support, and offer mentorship in a sport as a way to build confidence and improved self-perception.
In return, the athletes may receive equipment, promotion, training scholarships, and sports-related medical treatment.
Through the program, Sports Ambassadors learn responsibility and the importance of hard work to achieving success.
