Handshake America’s National Team

As we have grown in size and scope, one ideal remains constant: the strength of our participants - both student-athletes and coaches alike. This remains more true than ever today. In 12 years, 462 gritty student-athletes have been coached by 151 outstanding leaders from all walks of life. Our Alumni have gone on to attend 125 colleges in 26 states!

The inference is clear: our network is our strength. Although the Handshake America Program ends before our student-athletes graduate high school, the networking opportunities have only just begun.

Welcome to our National Team!
