The CKA SAVE Project, Inc. is a leading academic and athletic educational non-profit organization based in Silver Spring, Maryland, dedicated to empowering student-athletes nationwide. We provide comprehensive support that seamlessly integrates academic excellence with athletic development, preparing students not just for college, but for life. Our mission is to help student-athletes, particularly those from underserved communities, achieve their full potential by navigating the complex modern collegiate landscape—including NIL, the transfer portal, and evolving academic demands. Founded by Dr. Keith Adams, whose nearly three decades of experience in both academics and athletics provide unparalleled expertise, our programs are grounded in a deep understanding of the unique and ever-changing challenges faced by today's student-athletes.
We offer a comprehensive range of services designed to support student-athletes at every critical stage of their educational and athletic journey. Beyond guiding students through the college decision-making process, our Student-Athlete Academic & Athletic Consulting addresses the intricacies of the recruiting process, transfer portal dynamics, and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) considerations. Our Academic Skills Assessments provide thorough evaluations of performance and potential, while Academic Monitoring offers continuous, personalized support throughout the school year. Crucially, CKA also integrates vital components like financial literacy, personal branding, and holistic well-being into our approach, ensuring students are prepared for success both on and off the field. Complementing these services, Dr. Keith Adams’ acclaimed book, "Finding the Balance: My Personal Journey to Academic and Athletic Success," serves as an invaluable resource for student-athletes, coaches, teachers, and parents seeking to master this essential equilibrium.
At the CKA SAVE Project, we believe that Experience Matters when your future is on the line. We invite you to explore how our unique, integrated approach can support your academic and athletic goals, helping you not just achieve, but thrive.
