After-school sports and summer camps are lifelines to children with limited opportunities for enrichment/outdoor play and provide physical and mental health benefits.
Our Youth Sports For All program enrolls youth in high-quality after-school and summer youth sports programs. We aim to give children who may not easily access such programs, due to finances and other structural barriers, the same opportunities that other children in DC already have. The program primarily serves girls and boys in grades K-8 in wards 5, 6, 7, and 8.
