At SpeakEnglish5 (SE5), we are committed to empowering youth and families in low-to-moderate income communities with interactive education, direct mentorship, and community-based programming. We provide a supportive platform to connect young students and emerging athletes to valuable resources and growth opportunities. Jazette Lane-English and AJe’ English, the mother-daughter duo behind the nonpr
ofit name and the family members of three star athletes, founded SE5 to champion the essential women and families living in the shadows of the professional athletes in their lives. Now in its 12th year, SE5 has expanded into a national nonprofit with international partnerships, positively impacting over 4,000 women and young people since its inception. Our cadre of experts within or affiliated with professional sports utilizes a unique and transformative approach to empower Women Inside Professional Sports and address the challenges faced by youth. We amplify our impact by both hosting SE5 events and bringing our programs into schools and public spaces, particularly in traditionally underserved communities. With the generous support of our donors and the volunteer-power of our outreach arm, Women Inside Professional Sports (WIPS), we strive to raise awareness and advocate for the implementation of our programs
nationwide. Ultimately, at SE5, we are dedicated to empowering youth and their families to unlock their full potential and thrive on and off the court, in the classroom, at home, and beyond. Learn more about our free youth programs and resources at www.se5wips.org
