Tracy Allen, Editor of the Kansas City Call newspaper, interviews David Wallace, founder and executive director of Education First Athletics Second Coalition based out of Kansas City area, discusses the inception of EFASC, it’s beginning and how the athletic organization impacts student athletes and coaches from an educational front as well. Wallace played high school basketball in Kansas City as well at the junior college level and collegiate NAIA level. Let’s hear what Wallace and his organization is doing to intertwine Athletics and Education among our student athletes. Since June 1998, EdFirst’s emphasis has been on providing at risk youth and low income families with the skills they need in today’s culture to compete in everyday society. EdFirst has provided quality programs and services to its community by serving at risk youth through after school programs. Starting with just 50 at-risk youth in 1998, the program grew quickly to serving 1,000 youth the following school year in both Kansas City Missouri and Kansas City Kansas. Programs such as etiquette classes, computer, tutoring, family nights and basketball opened the door for EdFirst to become known in the community for its integrity and genuine concern. Now serving over 10,000 youth, 75-percent of EdFirst alumni have pursued academic opportunities at local and out of state colleges and universities
