The 2nd part of our discussion with TSYSG CEO E.W. Stiger and the future of "Stiger Youth Development dba Texas Superstar Youth Sports Group" in the Atlanta/Cass County Texas.
by Berick Fields
Berick Fields: Mr. Stiger, we left off with you giving details about how people in the Community could volunteer to assist TSYSG in their Community. What are some of the advantages of volunteering for a nonprofit organization.
E.W. Stiger: Great question Berick. Being a Volunteer is a winning proposition for everyone. In fact, volunteering can be a great way to develop skills, learn more about career options, make friends, garner new professional contacts, get exercise and make your Community a better place to live and work.
Add volunteering to your resume. Businesses, want to see that you are someone who is active in your community in the service of others, so show them how you took the initiative to volunteer at a local nonprofit and be specific of what you did. Being the leader or creating a new and helpful tool will prove to the potential employer that you are an asset to their organization.
Work experience is invaluable; there are some things you can?t learn in school. So by volunteering, you are in a new environment, observing people in their jobs and hopefully you are given tasks that challenge you. If not, ask! We can certainly assist you with that.
Berick Fields: Those are all excellent points I had not considered before. You refer to TSYSG volunteers as "Superstar Partners" why is that?
E.W. Stiger: We think it takes a special type of person to be selfless and give of their time and resources to aid in the betterment of others. In my opinion it's takes "SUPER" human effort to serve other and not expect something in return, that's a "STAR" like quality that shines brightly and should be recognized. In addition, Volunteers don't work for us, they "PARTNER" With us to help accomplish the mission of helping Young People reach their full potential. Thus the designation "Superstar Partner" vs Volunteer. It's easy to sign up at our website, http://TSYSG.org
Berick Fields: When is your target date to have TSYSG up and operating in the Atlanta/Cass County Texas area?
E.W. Stiger: Berick, we don't have a firm target date, but we do plan some events soon in the Atlanta TX area to introduce ourselves and let the Community know who we are and what our goal are for the area. The more Community support we can attract the faster we can be up and operating and changing lives for the better for Youth in Cass County Texas. We will be reaching out for people who want to serve as Coaches, Tutors, Social Media Management Instructors, Fund Raisers and basically any skill or expertise that will contribute to the success of our Mission.
Berick Fields: Why did TSYSG choose to empathize Academics as part of your Youth Group? Most Organization of this type only deal with the team sports aspect.
E.W. Stiger: Berick, I'm glad you thought to asked that question. Our over all Mission is to "Create the Leaders of Tomorrow TODAY". Leaders are confident, self assured and take charge no matter the situation. Often young people who have challenges academically will not exhibit those qualities because of the obvious reasons. They may lack confidence because they have certain limitations. On the other hand, a young person who has academic accomplishments to go along with the natural benefits youth get from participating in athletics, are more likely to feel comfortable taking the Lead and not shy away from challenges no matter where they come from.
Berick Fields: Mr. Stiger, we want to thank you for taking the time to talk with us and I am personally excited abut this Organization and it's Mission. I have no doubt the people of east Texas will embrace "Texas Superstar Youth Sports" and make it a success for years to come. Thank You again.
