NYA Funding Opportunities

 


Academic Support Opportunities


Whether you have interest in a particular child, family or the community at large, we have 

funding opportunities that cover reading, math and science, the arts/debate and fitness! 


Through NYA we have established academic programs focusing on literacy, math and science, the arts and law/literacy. Over the past 6 years, the young men on our basketball teams have participated in a Literacy program, STEM program, a Hip Hop Study Group/African History and a Law/Literacy debate program.

  

These programs began through the generosity of their program directors, but in order for us to continue these academic enrichment programs and provide support in literacy and healthy living. we need funding equal to the demand.

Former basketball star gives back with an academic emphasis MSRNEWSONLINE

    Testimonials

    "I remember coaching Lucas when he was playing on Washburn's 7th grade traveling team while he was just in the 6th grade. Lucas was a fierce competitor at all levels of basketball and in all stages of life. It's an honor to serve on his board to see him put his experiences (good and bad) to work in order to provide opportunities to the next generation."
