About Bolt Academy

Bolt Academy – presented by SoFi – is a unique partnership between the Los Angeles Chargers Impact Fund, Inglewood Unified School District and Brotherhood Crusade.

Selected juniors and seniors from Inglewood High Schools participate in a six month after-school program to build leadership and career readiness skills. Those who successfully complete and graduate from the program, have the opportunity to see what it means to work for the Chargers on game days.

Our Bolt Academy students spend nearly a year in the program, where they walk away with confidence, life skills and career readiness training that will take them far into their future career paths.
