Strengthening youth, families, and communities through a holistic, faith-based, and relational approach. BYA nurtures resilience and restoration by creating a foundation of hope that endures for generational change.


BYA provides access to East Baltimore County elementary and middle school youth, regardless of family situation, financial circumstances, or transportation needs. BYA is a Christian Community Nonprofit.

Six Ways BYA is Unique

  1. Proactively serve elementary and middle school youth
  2. Give access to over ten different sports, outdoor expeditions, and the arts
  3. Serve churches, youth/families, and schools
  4. Combine athletic/artistic, personal/spiritual, social/emotional, and intentional leadership development.
  5. We strengthen the community by developing youth leaders and hiring them as they enter high school.
