An athlete in their cornerOne-on-one mentorship connecting young African and African diaspora athletes with college athletes who understand more than their sport. They understand the journey. Thoughtfully matched by sport, personality, goals and lived experience.
Monthly and semester pricing available. Payment begins only after your family meets the proposed mentor.
Launching on Nigeria's Independence Day, the Roll Call invites every Ómó Naija family to post a photo of their child in their football kit and tag ONA. Let's see how many of us there are, at home and across the diaspora. Join the village to be notified. #OmoNaijaRollCall
Different roots. Shared dreams. Connected through sport. Pen Pals links young athletes across Africa with young athletes around the world, ages 10-18, building friendship and cultural connection through sport. African-centered, globally welcoming.
Child safeguarding is primary. All communication between pen pals is strictly parent supervised. ONA connects parents first. No child will ever be connected directly.

The Village Promise
ONA is not just a website or a community platform. It is a way of showing up. When you join the village, you become part of something that exists on sidelines, in stadiums, at tournaments, and in parking lots across America and Nigeria.
"Wherever you find yourself, on the sideline, in the stands, at a tournament across the country, if you see another Ómó Naija family, go to them. Introduce yourself. Welcome them into the village. We are only as strong as we are connected to each other."
"We celebrate goals scored and grades earned with equal pride. The scholar and the athlete are not two different children. In this village, they are one and the same."
