The Tommie Smith Youth Initiative was founded by Dr. Tommie Smith, the 1968 Olympic Gold Medalist who courageously raised his fist on the world stage in a stand for human rights, justice, and equality.
That moment changed history—
and today, that same spirit lives on through our mission.
Through TSYI, we are committed to uplifting and investing in youth by providing monetary awards and recognition in academics, athletics, and the arts—creating opportunities and inspiring the next generation to rise with purpose and courage.
