To inform Aspen’s work across this 6-county region, we engaged Rochester Area Community Foundation to create a local taskforce of youth sports practitioners and leaders who provided insights, expertise and feedback throughout the research process.

The following report represents thousands of local voices—young and old across the region—gathered through interviews, roundtables, focus groups and online surveys. When asked the question, what grade would you give Greater Rochester & the Finger Lakes in getting kids active though sports, surveyed stakeholders gave the region an average grade of C+. We can do better!
