About Access Youth Academy

Access Youth Academy, founded in 2006, is a continuous life-skill and academic enrichment program for low-income youth aged 10-24 designed to foster equal access to higher education, healthy lifestyle habits, and post-college graduation employment. To fuel success, Access uses a combination of academic mentorship, health and wellness, community service, and leadership training, using sports as a catalyst.

We believe every child should have equal access to achieve their full potential.

In a 14-year commitment that begins in 5th grade, Access students embark on a curriculum of intellectual, physical, and social development where academic enrichment, sports training, and financial support combine to help them realize their full potential.

The dedication required of both scholarship and sportsmanship creates a culture of character and determination- one that yields powerful results. Access Youth Academy shapes champions and leaders, with skills that fuel students through high-school graduation, on to top-rated universities, and well beyond into their careers.

Over a decade later, we see leaders where young students once stood. And in today's students, we see dynamic, empowered lives unfurling on the court, in the classroom, and in communities- proof that so long as opportunity is there, exceptional effort and guidance will take young people to places they never thought possible.

Join us in celebrating another year of success as Access grows our programs to serve more first-generation college students, expand access to an active play space, and provide sufficient guidance, support, and access to opportunity for students to break the cycle of poverty and find success.

All donations event proceeds benefit our transformational sports and academic enrichment programs, helping underserved youth achieve their dreams of success in high school, college, and beyond.

Join us at the Harvest Moon Soiree and be a part of the movement to transform lives and build brighter futures for our youth.


Your presence and support will make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless young individuals.
