The Weekend Academy for Sport & Society featuring NBA Star Willie Green of the Philadelphia 76ers is a collaborative partnership between Pro Sports Community Consultants (PSCC), the Philadelphia School District's Office of School Climate and Safety (OSCS) and the Philadelphia Community whereby high school students are introduced to the lives and histories of public figures, artists, entertainers, and professional athletes who have committed their lives, careers, and public fame to causes involving peace, unity, non-violence, and social change with a special focus on Renaissance Man and International icon Paul Robeson.

During select weekends from January until June, students are exposed to a diversity careers in the music, entertainment, and professional sports industries and are tutored in creative writing, mathematics, computers, and SAT preparation.

Participants also take community field trips to local sporting events, engage professional athletes in community forum on their careers, and are exposed to regular workshops integrated with sports and entertainment themes covering issues such as peer pressure, drugs, and alcohol, violence, cultural and social responsibility, leadership, and academic achievement including.

Parents and the community are regularly invited to join their children in weekend physical activities (and athletic competition) that combine lessons of sports with inner growth and personal achievement.
