      Meet our founder

      Ruben Carter

      Ruben Carter played football at Florida State University from 2011 to 2015, winning a National Championship in 2013 and earning his bachelor’s degree in 2015. He went on to play professionally in the NFL and CFL, with stints on the Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, Calgary Stampeders, and Montreal Alouettes.


      For the past nine years, Ruben has been dedicated to mentoring, training, and coaching youth athletes in both the Treasure Coast area and his hometown of Miami, Florida. Ruben currently operates a national youth flag football program in Port Saint Lucie and Stuart Florida called "Under the Lights Flag Football". This program services children who are in 1st grade until the 12th grade.  


      Seeing how few chances kids had to learn real sports fundamentals from a former professional athlete—and driven by a passion to uplift families in need—Ruben Carter launched the Ruben Carter Youth Foundation to make a powerful difference in his community.
