April 11, 2024, LOS ANGELES – HSF is excited to announce the continuation of its impactful partnership with Nike, Inc. This extended collaboration will further support HSF’s Scholarships, Support Services, National Leadership Conference (NLC), and the Youth Leadership Institute (YLI). Since Nike began its partnership with HSF in 2023, their contribution has been instrumental in driving educational excellence and leadership among students.

The renewed partnership will continue to provide vital funding and resources for HSF’s programs, specifically the NLC and YLI, both of which are key to developing the leadership skills and career readiness of youth.

Additionally, HSF is also the administrator of the Nike Scholar Program, a merit-based scholarship.

“Extending our partnership with Nike, Inc. is a momentous step forward for HSF,” said Fidel Vargas, President & CEO, HSF. “Since Nike’s involvement began last year, their support has been a game-changer for our programs. Their commitment to fostering educational and leadership opportunities aligns perfectly with our mission to empower this young generation of leaders.”

HSF is enthusiastic about the opportunities that lie ahead and are committed to making a lasting difference in the lives of students through our extended partnership with Nike, Inc.
