Building Futures, One Student-Athlete at a Time
At Youth Education and Sports, Inc., we believe every young person carries the potential to do something great. That belief is not just a statement we put on a wall. It is the foundation of everything we do, every program we run, and every student we serve. Since 2002, we have been walking alongside young people in their journey toward a better future, giving them the tools, the guidance, and the encouragement they need to step into the best version of themselves.
We are not simply an after-school program. We are a community-centered organization that genuinely cares about the growth and success of every child who walks through our doors. From academics to athletics, from character building to career preparation, Youth Education and Sports exists to make sure that no young person is left without direction, support, or opportunity.

Where It All Began
Every meaningful organization starts with a moment that demands action. For us, that moment came when a young student could not understand why he was passed over for a team. He did not know what he was lacking. He did not know how to improve. He did not know where to turn. That one moment of confusion and disappointment became the spark that launched Youth Education and Sports.
Our founder recognized that this student was not alone. Across communities throughout the country, thousands of young people face the same challenge. They have the drive. They have the desire. But without the right guidance and resources, many of them never reach their potential. Youth Education and Sports was created to change that.
Since our founding in 2002, we have grown into a trusted organization that has served more than 4,600 young people through 15 carefully designed programs. Each of those young people represents a story of growth, determination, and possibility.
We Are Here To Help
Who We Serve
We serve student-athletes and young people from all walks of life, with a specific commitment to those who are under-resourced. We believe that a lack of financial resources should never be a barrier to accessing quality education, athletic training, mentorship, or college preparation.
Our programs are designed to meet young people exactly where they are. We do not expect perfection from day one. We do not require young people to already have it all figured out. What we do expect is effort, and in return, we give everything we have to help each student move forward with purpose.
We work with young men and women who are still finding their footing, who may be struggling academically, or who need someone to believe in them before they believe in themselves. We are that source of support. We are that consistent presence. We are the organization that shows up every day with a commitment to seeing every student succeed.

Academic Compliance refers to the process of understanding and meeting the academic requirements necessary to remain eligible for college athletics and scholarship opportunities. Many families are unaware of the specific course requirements, grade point average standards, and enrollment timelines set by college athletic associations. At Youth Education and Sports, we walk both parents and students through every step of this process using clear, easy-to-understand guidance. Staying academically compliant is one of the most important things a student-athlete can do to protect their path to college and their scholarship opportunities.
Registering your child is a simple and straightforward process. The first step is to use our registration link to sign up for the program or course that best fits your child's goals and needs. Once you submit your registration, a member of our team will reach out to contact you directly and help you set up your account. From there, your child is ready to begin. You are also welcome to call us or send an email if you have questions before registering or if you would like to speak with a team member directly.
TSAAP is our flagship mentoring program and the heart of everything we do at Youth Education and Sports. Through TSAAP, every enrolled student is required to set three monthly goals across three important areas of their life. Those areas are academic progress, social development, and extracurricular engagement. Each goal is tracked and recorded in a growing digital portfolio that captures the full story of a student's journey over time. Students in TSAAP are also required to participate in civic engagement and community volunteering, helping them develop a strong sense of responsibility and purpose.
Youth Education and Sports has been making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families since 2002. That is more than two decades of consistent, community-centered work. Since 2017 alone, we have served more than 4,600 young people through 15 carefully designed programs. Every year, we continue to grow our reach and deepen our impact across the communities we serve.
Our programs are open to student-athletes and young people from all backgrounds. We have a particular commitment to serving under-resourced youth who may not have easy access to quality mentoring, academic support, or college preparation resources. Whether your child is excelling and looking for the next challenge or struggling and in need of steady guidance, there is a place for them at Youth Education and Sports. We welcome every young person who is ready to put in the effort and grow.
