Shane Mosley today is the intern trying to land a full-time gig, the freshman quarterback told to carry the senior starter’s helmet, the student with failing grades and no extra credit work completed.

The motto is about being brave in the attempt. In the act of trying. They welcome you to be a fan of opportunity, of respect, of hope, of joy, of courage, of achievement, of inclusion.
