Big Yard Academy (BYA) is a two-week summer program that empowers youth through education and sports. Combining S.T.E.A.M. learning with flag football, the Academy fosters personal growth in middle school Student-Athletes.

Our inaugural 2024 cohort featured 30 Student-Athletes who were immersed in programming designed to build resilience and equip them to overcome social adversity prevalent in communities with limited access to resources and opportunities.
