YOTM provides our young people with critical tools that help them succeed academically and in life, and we seek to strengthen its impact for a more robust program. Success stories are numerous. There is Brandon, who played football with his high school team before receiving a full football scholarship to Monmouth College. And there is Timothy, who stayed with the program for six years, graduating high school with a full scholarship to Rutgers University.

Harlem is a community in transition, and while this brings many benefits, young people like Timothy and Brandon risk being left behind. Supporting YOTM is crucial, and ensures youth from diverse backgrounds can enjoy the many benefits that an integrated athletic/academic program can provide.
