Emmi Eisner
Founder and Co-President

Sports have always been a key component of who Emmi is. At five years old, she demanded she change out her pink ballet tights for a much more comfortable pair of soccer cleats. On the field, Emmi has learned the value of teamwork and discipline as well as how to use her voice as a leader. The inspiration and lessons learned through her various athletic endeavors continue to provide a springboard for growth and an opportunity in all aspects of her life. 

Emmi graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2021 with a degree in Systems Engineering. For her work with Play It Forward, Emmi was named one of 15 national recipients of the 2015 Diller Foundation Teen Award for displaying exceptional leadership in service projects, was named the top high school volunteer in California with the 2016 Prudential Spirit of Community award, was named the 2014 Youth of the Year by The Chatsworth Community Coordinating Council, and has received six gold-level Presidential service awards.
