To register as a League Member or Advocate you will be asked to provide Personal Information such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, date of birth, gender, zip code, race, social media URLs/usernames, and biographical information.

Students and mentors who choose to sign up with Voice In Sport will be required to connect via social messaging platforms such as Facebook, Skype, Zoom, Google Hangouts, LinkedIn, and others. Social messaging URLs and usernames may be collected in order to match Advocates with League Members. We are not responsible for any discussions or comments made by Advocates and League Members on our social media and social messaging platforms, we will try to remove any inappropriate content as diligently as possible.
