About

A single positive mentor or role model can transform a child’s trajectory, building self-esteem, academic performance, and emotional resilience.

We teach young people to lead by example and inspire others through their actions.

Character and accountability are at the heart of everything we do.

We open doors to new experiences, opportunities, and possibilities.

We encourage effort, growth, and consistency both on and off the field.

We believe strong communities are built when families, schools, and organizations work together.

Our purpose is to bridge the gap between potential & opportunity.

At Edison Youth Activities, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to grow, succeed, and discover their potential. Our organization is a community-focused nonprofit dedicated to serving youth and families by creating positive pathways through sports, mentorship, and leadership development.

We provide structured programs designed to build confidence, discipline, teamwork, and character. Through athletics and guided mentorship, our goal is to help young people develop the skills they need to succeed not only in sports, but in school, relationships, and life.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower youth—especially those from underserved communities—by providing mentorship, leadership training, and athletic programs that prepare them for long-term success in education, careers, and life.

We strive to create opportunities that encourage young people to dream bigger, work harder, and believe in their ability to achieve greatness.

Our Vision

We envision a future where young people grow into confident, responsible, and purpose-driven leaders who positively impact their schools, families, and communities.

Through positive environments and supportive coaching, we aim to inspire youth to become individuals who lead with integrity and contribute to the world around them.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to bridge the gap between potential and opportunity. We do this by creating safe and empowering environments where youth can grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.

By combining sports training with mentorship and personal development, we help young people build the foundation needed for lifelong success.

Who We Are

Edison Youth Activities (EYA) empowers youth and young adults by creating pathways to success through education, mentorship, leadership development, and enrichment. We serve youth ages 6–17 with personalized tutoring, academic support, athletic programs, health and wellness initiatives, plus opportunities to build character and engage with their community. For young adults ages 18–28, EYA provides mentorship, life skills training, workforce development, and guidance that supports personal and professional growth. Together, these opportunities help participants gain the confidence, skills, and support NEEDED to reach their goals, become leaders, and make a positive difference in their communities.

Building the Next Generation of Leaders

At Edison Youth Activities, sports are more than competition—they are a powerful tool for personal growth. Through dedicated coaching, mentorship, and community support, we help young people become confident individuals prepared to lead in every area of life.

Together with families, coaches, and community partners, we are building a stronger future—one young leader at a time.
