DONATE

Join us in our mission to empower youth, transform communities, and build a brighter future together.

The Young World Athletic Association was founded in the summer of 1993, emerging as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the youth in Harlem, New York. Conceived by a group of dedicated community members with a shared vision to uplift and empower the next generation, our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to save lives and nurture the potential of our youth.

We cannot do this alone and depend on support from people like you. Your donation enables us to offer safe, nurturing, drug-free environments, educational services, and developmental opportunities. that will change lives of at-risk youth and young men aged 7 to 22.
