Youth Life Skills Academy

We are an organization committed to educating and inspiring youth through compassionate mentorship and structured sporting events.

It begins with basketball, continues through education, and inspires a way forward.

We create safe spaces for young people to connect, form deep bonds between themselves and their community, and to learn from experienced mentors through our three-day-long basketball academies.

YLSA partners with public schools and community centers like the Charles Jordan Community Center and the Salvation Army to host our academies, each of which focuses on three key specific areas: Basketball, Fitness, and Life Skills.

What we do

Basketball focuses on getting youth active and building deep connections within the group.

Life Skills helps our participants learn to define their personal life goals, view them as attainable, and formulate plans to realize them.

Fitness teaches our participants to stay healthy, even without access to a gym or expensive workout equipment.
