ShareWaves Promote Youth Sports



A resident of Livermore, CA, Eric Dillie is a superintendent of Schools at Key Educational Group. An accomplished nonprofit leader and education administration expert, he has held high-profile positions at various nonprofits. Eric Dillie serves as an advisory board member for several nonprofit organizations including the ShareWaves Foundation.

ShareWaves works round the clock to ensure each child gets to experience the life-enriching “power of sports.” The ShareWaves Foundation believes that support and collaboration from well-wishers can help level the playing field and allow all children to have equal opportunity in sports participation.

Sports competition is a key ingredient for promoting community. When children participate in sports, they acquire healthy habits that benefit them throughout their lifetime. Sports enable children to experience character-building interactions that positively impact them both on and off the field. By participating in sports, children acquire core values such as discipline, fairness, self-respect, integrity, selflessness, humility, patience, and tenacity, many of the key building blocks of a successful life.

ShareWaves continues to speak out about the inequalities associated with youth sports programs and how lack of participation makes kids miss out on physical health, academic development, and socioeconomic growth benefits. In the midst of all the challenges children face today, there is a call for a movement to help address opportunity gaps that prevent children from fully benefiting from the transformative power associated with sports and structured play.

In this role, he oversees staff and budgeting for public charter schools that serve around 600 students.

Aimed at keeping young people active and engaged, the campaign offers resources such as video workouts and virtual training opportunities that are designed to keep kids socially engaged and physically active. In addition to experiencing the powerful mood boost that exercise provides, working out virtually as a community can help kids feel connected to one another despite the physical isolation.

Rising Young Leaders Encourages Youth to Give Back to the Community



After nearly two decades as a teacher and administrator at various schools, Eric Dillie joined the nonprofit organization Key Educational Group (KEG) as the Superintendent of Schools. KEG provides a range of support services to a cluster of Bay Area charter schools.

Rising Young Leaders, which was previously known as the Mony Nop Foundation, is a nonprofit dedicated to encouraging middle school students to undertake community service in the Tri-Valley area of California. The founder of the organization, Mony Nop, was born in Cambodia and grew up in the slave labor camp known as the Killing Fields of Cambodia. In 1983, he managed to escape to the United States, where he had to face many challenges before becoming a police officer in 1995. His work enabled him to interact with youth, families, and school groups, which inspired him to create the Mony Nop Foundation.

The foundation awards scholarships to students, enabling them to enroll in programs in various areas ranging from the visual and performing arts to sports and athletics or leadership development. Students can earn scholarships by completing a certain number of volunteer hours.

Under the leadership of Mony Nop, the organization believes that all children deserve an opportunity to grow and reach their potential, and they seek to provide them with the tools to do so. By mentoring and guiding youth, Rising Young Leaders seeks to work toward creating positive change in the community.
