2021 SOUTHEAST MISSOURI SOCCER GUIDE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
S
tudent-athletes and coaches at Southeast Missouri are dedicated to giving back to the community that so generously supports them. Redhawk soccer studentathletes have opportunities to participate in a variety of community service activities each year. Community involvement helps provide a support structure and greater opportunity for academic success. We are proud of the level of commitment shown by our student-athletes and always encourage them to participate in community service projects here at SEMO. SEMO student-athletes also have the opportunity to participate in the Redhawks BRIDGE Program. The mission of the Redhawks BRIDGE Program is to develop a comprehensive student-athlete development
program by Building Responsible Individuals and Delivering Gainful Experiences. This program provides student-athletes with both leadership and life skills experiences through interactive programming that will prepare them to be successful in life after athletics. The leadership programming will teach studentathletes about SEMO’s culture and allow them to learn, develop, and apply leadership skills. The life skills programming provides educational programs designed to assist studentathletes in identifying and applying transferable skills and experiences to prepare them to succeed outside of the athletic arena.
