About this organization
Mission
We believe every child should have equal access to achieve their full potential. Access Youth Academy’s mission is to transform the lives of underserved youth through academic enrichment, health and wellness, social responsibility, and leadership development using the sport of squash as a catalyst.
About
AYA provides comprehensive afterschool programming for underprivileged youth via our four pillar approach of academic enrichment, health and wellness, community service, and leadership, through the sport of squash. Our goal is to ensure student success throughout high school and that each student earns a college degree, receiving the greatest amount of scholarship and financial aid possible.AYA dedicates 12 years to the students, starting in 7th grade and supporting them through college and as they begin their career path. AYA works with a partner school, The Preuss School, UCSD, in providing free afterschool programming. All AYA students are low-income youth from the most underserved communities of San Diego County and are predominantly first-generation college bound.With the success of the pilot program with The Preuss School, UCSD, AYA is expanding into Southeast San Diego where AYA has purchased land in 2018 and in 2019 will begin construction on a two-story structure that blends sports, academics and business activities. With this new state of the art facility AYA will be able to serve the Southeast San Diego and surrounding communities and schools.
