Access Youth Academy

The Project

Access Youth Academy is dedicated to transforming the lives of underserved youth by providing academic enrichment, leadership development, and athletic training. Through a 14-year program, students from low-income backgrounds receive tutoring, mentorship, college and career guidance, and training in squash and pickleball. By fostering both academic and athletic excellence, the Access Youth Academy equips students with the skills and confidence to thrive.

In addition to academic and athletic development, Access Youth Academy is committed to expanding opportunities for students through sustainable initiatives. With financing by BQuest Foundation and by partnering with the SunForAll Program, Access Youth Academy was able to install an 85 kW solar system that will allow the organization to reduce energy costs, directing more resources toward programs.

With a 100% high school graduation rate, millions in scholarships earned, and national recognition in squash, Access Youth Academy continues to make a lasting impact on the lives of the students it serves. By breaking down barriers to education and personal development, Access Youth Academy empowers young people to reach their full potential, fostering a new generation of leaders who will create positive change in their communities.
