The ACHIEVES project is a successful partnership between the Prince William County Public Schools and George Mason University serving more than 20,000 middle school children. Our mission is to provide free accessible athletic training healthcare, reduce risk of injury, and continuously improve and share pediatric sports medicine knowledge so that all children can safely enjoy the numerous lifelong benefits of sports participation.

ACHIEVES is working to accomplish this mission by:

• Making healthcare more accessible for children participating in school sponsored sports and activities by providing a Virginia Board of Medicine licensed athletic trainer at each Prince William County middle school.
• Ensuring safe participation in school sponsored sports and activities by implementing strategies to reduce the risk of injury.
• Increasing pediatric sports medicine expertise by providing high quality learning experiences for athletic training pediatric fellows.
• Promoting health and wellness for all children by continuously improving athletic training healthcare services and sharing pediatric sports medicine knowledge and expertise.
