New Heights Youth, Inc

Founded in 2005, New Heights Youth, Inc. is a New York City-based non-profit organization located at the Major R. Owens Health & Wellness Community Center in Crown Heights, Brooklyn that uses sports to help young people rise to their potential physically, emotionally, socially and academically. Our mission is “to educate and empower promising underserved youth to be leaders, champions and student-athletes by developing the skills necessary for success in high school, college and life.”

Through a variety of after-school, weekend and summer programs, New Heights engages over 1,500 youth and young adults annually, the majority of whom represent racially and/or economically marginalized communities. We are currently expanding our signature College Bound program and introducing new community-based services that will deepen our impact in Brooklyn and throughout New York City. Our current programs include:

● Travel basketball teams

● Academic support, tutoring, counseling and workshops focused on social-emotional learning and life skills

● High school preparation, guidance and placement services

● College preparation, guidance and placement services
