With a growing population of children, our cities need to take a proactive approach to give the youth access to safe and educational after-school activities. The programs provided by Youth United/FSA offer a safe environment for kids to learn fundamental sports skills, how to set positive life and academic goals, and how to help build the community they live in.
Students have access to many programs to build their self esteem and character. Each program is designed with specific goals tailored for each student.
At Youth United/FSA our Student Athletes learn the following motto:
- C - Constant
