Who We Are
About Interrecruit
At Interrecruit, we value Camaraderie and Individual development. This reflects in the rapid expansion of our family outside the welcoming coast of West-Africa. Established in 2014 and run almost solely for close to a decade, the Foundation has survived with a one-person administration. Our excellence, however, does not surprise us because we thrive on the unwavering support of you…our lovely family.
Be it nurturing new talents, finding financial solutions, or counseling and guiding on sports-study paths; We strive to eliminate challenges through individual support and broader scholarship programs. We gather and donate used or new sports equipment during our annual charity drive too!
We host age-restricted UTR tennis tournaments aimed at improving player rankings for college tennis; Open tournaments, and an annual charity drive. Our expertise in college scholarship negotiations is our stronghold but we also have our internal scholarship: The Paul English Scholarship as well as work/internship opportunities for students in the U.S.A., and workshops for sports coaches in numerous disciplines.
We are on a mission to ensure that talented athletes from Atlanta and Africa have the resources and support they need to achieve their academic and athletic dreams. The sports included are Tennis, Soccer, Basketball, Fencing, Track, and Wrestling.
