USD Football Player Mentor Programs

The Autism Tree USD Football Player Mentor Program was launched in 2008 as the very first of the Autism Tree USD Athletics Mentor Programs and pairs autistic children and their siblings one-on-one with University of San Diego Football player mentors for their entire fall season.

Created in partnership with USD Athletics and facilitated by Autism Tree Director of USD Athletics Mentor Programs Jon Hickey, this flagship program was designed to build lasting friendships between Autism Tree families and Torero student-athletes through shared experiences on and off the field.

Inspires confidence, teamwork, and inclusion by inviting Autism Tree families to attend USD home games, cheer on their mentors from the stands, and enjoy post-game time on the field-creating memories and bonds that last long after the final whistle.
