\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Urban Youth Kings and Queens (UYKQ) is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that empowers Philadelphia\u2019s underserved youth through sports, educational, and mentoring programs. UYKQ has provided youth programming in Northwest Philadelphia since 2017. Our programmatic goal is to overcome the adversities that prevent young people from achieving their potential and create the next generation of Philadelphia\u2019s community leaders by preparing children for college and beyond.
\nUYKQ provides out-of-school time (OST) programming in team sports (baseball, softball, basketball), summer camps, and afterschool care to children in North and Northwest Philadelphia. Our OST programs primarily attract children from the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia (zip code 19144), which has a population that is 72% African American and reports a median family household income of $37,056 (compared to $88,347 in the rest of Pennsylvania) and 36.9% poverty level for children 5-17 years (compared to 16.6% nationally). Each UYKQ program seeks to improve academic performance, foster resilience, build character, develop sportsmanship, and teach conflict resolution, health, and wellness skills.
\nA central component of the mission of our team sports program is to bring opportunities for organized play and competition to Philadelphia children who have not traditionally been served by area teams and leagues. UYKQ brought youth baseball and softball to Germantown – an opportunity that had not existed in decades. Minority participation in baseball, especially among African American children, is at an all-time low. This donation will have immediate impact on our baseball program which services 80% African Americans. It will support our mission to bring new opportunities to the children of Germantown and surrounding neighborhoods by helping cover some cost for our travel to Richmond, Virginia for 40 of our players ages 7 \u2013 10 for a weekend experience of Team Building and Mentorship, tour with Virginia State University Baseball players & coaches, and Enrichment opportunities.<\/p>\n
