Youth Service League, Inc.
Our all-volunteer New York-based Program is comprised of several components, all dealing with providing meaningful and positive educational, athletic, social, emotional, and delinquency prevention activities to our most disadvantaged inner-city youth enrollment. We help our 1,000 boys, girls, and young adults, ages 8-20 years old, realize their full positive potential, both in their home and school environments. We are non-profit and tax-exempt, per Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Our delinquency prevention Programs emphasize maximizing our youth members' positive potential. Day after day, 52 weeks a year, we work to achieve the following: a quality education, decreased street violence, drug prevention, improved reading and writing skills, an understanding of cause and effect, and learning to respect others from diverse backgrounds. Diversity is taught as a positive lifelong experience. Ours is an all-volunteer staff.
We teach the value of discipline, and the importance of making a committment. A major Program objective is our use of sports to help our Kids grow. Through sports, we are able to reach them, and help them become responsible adults. Thus, we help them in school, make learning a positive, and help the overall growth process.
Specific program activities include:
- athletics (baseball, basketball, soccer, and intramurals);
- tutoring (class, 1 to 1, small group, and peer);
- counseling (1 to 1, small group, and peer);
- an Outreach Program, to better interface with our Kids' home and school environments;
- College Placement, to help place all High School graduates in Colleges nationwide (the past 5 years, all High School graduates have gone to College) on a variety of academic, financial, and athletic scholarships;
- and a College Scholarship program which we are currently fundraising for.
