Nonprofit Organization Management - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Founded in 2020, Pittsburgh Hardball Academy is a non-profit entity that strives to enrich the lives of underrepresented and underserved youth in the Greater Pittsburgh region via the games of baseball and softball. In order to do this, we provide year-round academic & social enrichment programming, college advisement & recruiting services, and high-level travel teams, while leveraging fundraising and donations to remove barriers to entry and increase diversity & inclusion.Over the past several decades, high-level baseball programming has become inaccessible to low to moderate-income families. According to USA Today, on average, American families pay $3,700 per child to participate on travel teams and upwards $8,000 per year to afford the ancillary costs associated with high-level baseball. In addition, families pay hundreds of dollars for individualized training and are often left on their own during the college search process. As a result, underrepresented youth, particularly those in minority communities, have effectively been priced out of the sport, eliminating the many opportunities baseball presents to enrich the lives of youth. Pittsburgh Hardball Academy strives to break down these barriers to increase diversity & inclusion in the games of baseball and softball while using the sports as a conduit to develop well-rounded young men & women and increase future academic and professional success.Additional details on our programming, leadership, student-athletes, and partner organizations can be found on our website: www.pittsburghhardball.org
