AT4AMERICA places newly certified ATs in schools that need them and supports them with mentorship, competitive pay, student loan reimbursement and career support.
The transition from student to practicing athletic trainer can be overwhelming. Many newly credentialed ATs face uncertainty, lack structured onboarding and mentorship, and struggle to find positions that offer both financial stability and professional growth.
AT4America is Go4’s bold initiative to change that. Inspired by “Teach for America,” this program provides newly certified athletic trainers with mentorship, competitive pay, student loan reimbursement and career support—helping them thrive from day one.

ATs have made over $30 million with Go4
“I love it here. Best career move I have ever made. Athletes, coaches and general community are very supportive of me. We are starting at ground zero and developing the entire athletic program with the type of service I have been looking for years. It will be way better than the healthcare of the previous clinics I worked with combined. So far, my efforts have caught the attention of other colleges. Job offers from Colleges in Michigan and Iowa to be their new head athletic trainer. MIAC Commissioner in Minnesota has reach out to me as well. This is why I want to stay here to show everyone that Northland College and you Beth, you gave me a chance while the big healthcare companies didn’t think I can make an impact. Thank you.”
