Hoomanities

Empowering youth is a powerful tool. Providing guidance and direction to adolescent youth around the world, who may be at risk due to economic, social and political issues, can change their destiny and create a positive path for the future. Sports is a unique vehicle, it builds awareness, breaks barriers and has a universal language. Athletes have potential to push the limit and achieve great things in the competition arena, and outside of the arena. They can provide positive influence for others and deter youth from being distracted or misguided, which at times may lead to prison and attraction to socially dangerous groups, such as gangs, terrorism and crime. Hoomanities is a non-for-profit organization founded by hope in humanity. Our founders wanted to create an organization that brings youth together, inspires and empowers them to focus on a common goal: a better and brighter future through sports and development. This mission can not be achieved alone. Our common goal is to make an impact together, providing a personal touch, people-to-people interaction and outreach, and less institutionalized. We hope to get support from corporations who share our vision, and provide the basic necessities to youth around the world to get them in the training room rather than on the streets looking for trouble. Hoomanities is led by Hooman ‘Mo’ Tavakolian, an athlete-turned-sports diplomat, eBook author, Chief Compliance Officer at a NYC based hedge fund, and Founder & President of Tavak Partners, a unique sports management, sports diplomacy and consulting firm, representing causes and clients worldwide.
