One All Trust

One All Mission: Through the medium of mixed-gender sport, we offer life skill education to teenagers at risk: to help them shape their identity, build empathy and resilience, and influence them to become role-models for their generation and the next. About One All: One All Trust was founded in 2016 to improve the lives of youth in underserved communities in Chennai and Gudalur, Tamil Nadu. The organization uses the sport of ultimate frisbee as a tool to run at-school and after-school values education programs for boys and girls 13-17 years old. To date, One All has worked with over 460 children at government schools and in Doomingkuppam and Srinivasapuram, two of the biggest fishing communities in Chennai. We have also implemented a life skills education program in the Adivasi community of Gudalur, where four Adivasi teachers now run our curriculum in two local schools and one village. Our three year life skills education program integrates sport and values education, and is complementary to conventional education systems in India. We create a fun, safe, friendly learning environment to teach and facilitate discussions on gender, personality, society, stereotyping and sexuality. We envision that the adolescents we work with will be the first generation to challenge gender norms and pursue greater opportunities, rights and freedoms than they had believed possible for themselves.
