In 2020, the Position Sports DREAM Initiative was established to recognize and celebrate the unique opportunities that our industry provides in uniting groups in a common goal. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse work environment in which staff members will feel safe, respected and valued regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status, ability or age. As part of this initiative, our team established the DREAM Program as a way to support underserved college students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the Sports Business industry. We recognized that these students did not have the same career opportunities, either due to location (only 28% of HBCUs are in a city with a professional sports team) or resources. Our staff has developed a program that brings the real world classroom to them, while providing actual event externships to gain experience and develop a network of connections.
