Robert Golden CEO President & CEO Robert, one of the most highly-recruited high school football players in the nation, received a football scholarship in 2008 to the University of Arizona, where he earned a degree in General Studies with an emphasis in Social Behavior and Human Understanding. Drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2012, Robert’s leadership skills manifest themselves quickly, and he was voted team captain by his peers in only his second year, the youngest team captain in the Steeler’s vaunted history. The management of the Steelers selected him as a Player Development Representative, a position requiring great maturity and character. Player Development Representatives help professional athletes who have not yet finished college return to their universities during the offseason to get their degree. They also help athletes understand how to conduct themselves as a “professional”, an important education since many players are young men from modest backgrounds who are suddenly earning millions of dollars under the spotlight of a national media. Player Development Representatives also help younger athletes learn how to budget their finances and how to make wise decisions on and off the field. That Robert Golden was chosen for these positions at such a young age is a testament to his natural leadership skills. Robert wants to bring his leadership and development abilities to the underserved communities of Fresno. He wants to help children become equipped with knowledge and skills for their future, knowing that exposure to a world-class education will change the trajectory of children and their families. Robert understands, from personal experience, the unequal opportunities that less fortunate families may have to overcome and desires to help children formulate their dreams and develop skills to make those dreams become reality.
