​Our Mission

​The New York Crusaders are a nonprofit focused on academically, economically, & athletically empowering nontraditional athletes playing the sport of football.

The New York Crusaders mission is to provide a platform for its participants using the game of football while connecting them to  educational programs, support services, and career development opportunities. The Crusaders are committed to excellence, providing responsive development programs, upholding the mission of the organization while helping to eradicate the historic systemic challenges that face many non-traditional athletes in disenfranchised communities .
