Who we are
Pro USA is a 501(c)(3) Organization based in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota with registered branch in the Republic of Liberia dedicated to providing aid, education, relief, and resources to both underserved youth and adults. We focused on those who live in Liberia or have immigrated to the United States from Africa. Our programs and services provide our target population with opportunities that overcome the obstacles that plague their communities and its people.
Mission
To promotes and empowers Youth through Sports.
Vision
To be recognized as one of the leading organization that empower people using sports as a conduit to promote global education and provide physical fitness for a healthy living.
Pro USA individual empowerment and self-determination are strong components of our organization. Founders organized Pro USA, Inc. to counteract deficiency and disadvantage and to enable long-term stability and improved quality of life.
It is in this direction that the Professionals in the United States of Americas "PRO USA Inc.", a 501 c 3 non-profit organization, was founded on May 5, 2008 by enthusiastic Liberians residing in the United States of America specifically in the state of Minnesota who saw the need to partnership with the Government of Liberia, sporting federations, and other humanitarian organizations in its endeavor to empower and capacitate the youths in identifying their potentials through sports.
The organization has since expanded its membership to other nationals; and has successfully established a coordinating arm in Liberia through which its interest and activities are supervised.
OUR CORE VALUES:
Pro USA's core value has been the building blocks for our successes. We believe in the following values: Prioritizing Youth first, building a Visionary Leadership, Involving community participation, valuing Diversity, Integration and Excellence.
Youth First:
Pro USA believes in the principle that all kids have great potential. At Pro USA, we help set and achieve these personal and educational goals. These individuals gain confidence as they recognize that they belong and can feel comfortable exploring new interests and passions. We encourage youth to accept personal responsibility by developing age appropriate leadership skills that will go far beyond the playing field.
Visionary Leadership:
Pro USA leads by promoting its mission and core values. We lead with integrity, accountability and by open, honest and timely communication. We work with individuals, organizations and coalitions in a collaborative fashion. There is a valued partnership with volunteer and staff leadership at all levels of the organization that provides mutual respect and support.
Community Participation:
Pro USA believes that youth sports programs encourage and promote healthy strong kids, families and communities by placing a priority on family involvement, healthy competition rather than rivalry; these communities are being burdened with a continued increase in obesity amongst youth.
Clinical studies conducted by the President's Council on Physical Fitness also show that sports and recreation programs can help youth establish lifelong, healthy, physical activity patterns. Regular physical activity can ward off life-threatening diseases; reduce feelings of depression and anxiety; help control weight and obesity; build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints.
Diversity:
Pro USA values and insists upon diversity in its leadership and membership. We actively pursue and welcome diverse groups (including but not limited to race, ethnicity, religion, age, geographic location, sexual orientation, gender and level of disability.
Integrity and Excellence:
Pro USA conducts its business with integrity. We reflect quality and excellence in all of our work. "To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; credible we must be truthful." Edward Murrow.
