Our Mission

We believe nothing is more important than educating a child and striving to provide safe, healthy after-school activities for those who need it most

We are a local 501(c)(3) that uses baseball and softball to catalyze educational attainment in the El Paso community. The BYAA  provides mentorship and opportunity where education and community development have been limited historically.

Our Values

Empowerment

We believe in the limitless potential of young people and choose to invest in them as the key to a brighter future for our communities and our world.

Well-Being

We foster safe spaces that enhance the social, emotional, and physical well-being of young people directly impacting the future of our community.

Community Commitment:

We are deeply connected with young people, their parents, and our community. We commit to allowing their voices to guide our work, and to do whatever it takes to help them thrive.

Accessibility

We provide access to programming that creates opportunities for our most at-risk and highest-need youth, free of cost.

Equity and Inclusion

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live their full potential, and that our community is stronger when they are full of opportunities for people with diverse identities, backgrounds, and perspectives. We prioritize action over the intention and are working every day to make our organization more equitable and inclusive.

Teamwork

Teamwork makes the dream work! We believe in fostering a collaborative, open environment for not only our sports leagues but for BYAA’s team as well.
