Philadelphia Youth Basketball

Built of, by, for, and with the communities it serves, PYB’s unique equity-building model combines engaging group activities and Sport & Society modules with real-world life lessons – from health and wellness to personal growth and leadership. This holistic approach to youth development hinges on the accessible, culturally credible Coach-Mentors at PYB, many of whom come from the same neighborhoods and circumstances as the young people we serve.

PYB leverages the game of basketball to enable young people—especially those from under-resourced communities—to develop their potential as students, athletes, and positive leaders.
