Program Centers
 Campus-based Program Centers at NAIA colleges and universities across North America focus on education of NAIA coaches and student-athletes and broad-based community outreach. They share the core values, messages and resources of the Champions of Character program with their local students, coaches, parents, and school and youth league administrators to promote meaningful change in the culture of sport in their local communities. Members of the civic and business community also participate in the Champions of Character Program Center activities.
Community outreach
Through Program Centers, speakers and presentations about the importance of character both on and off the playing field are available to local schools and organizations. Classes, workshops and summits like The Power of a Coach's Words or Redefining the Term "Athlete" provide application models for coaches and parents to teach and model the five core values.
Campus leaders of character, NAIA student-athletes who demonstrate an exceptional commitment to the five core values, share the message of respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship to youth of all ages through reading sessions and mentoring programs. Serving as role models for younger student-athletes, leaders of character demonstrate how making character-based decisions leads to success in sports and in life.
