Our Mission

Break To Build Athletics empowers youth across New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine to participate in sports by dismantling financial obstacles, ensuring every child has equitable access to athletic programs as a foundation for a healthy and successful future.

what we believe

Every Child Deserves a Chance to Play

We believe that no child should be denied the opportunity to experience the joy, growth, and life lessons that sports provide, regardless of their family’s financial situation. Our mission is to break down barriers and create inclusive, accessible opportunities for all children to play, compete, and thrive. Because when every child can step onto the field, court, or track, they step into their potential.

Sports Are a Cornerstone of Healthy Youth Development

From building physical strength to cultivating emotional resilience, sports play a vital role in helping young people grow into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals. Teamwork teaches collaboration. Practice builds discipline. Wins and losses alike offer valuable life lessons in perseverance, humility, and respect. For many kids, sports become a safe space—a place to belong, to express themselves, and to discover their potential both on and off the field.
