New Heights Youth, Inc

New Heights was founded in October 2005 as an independent non-profit organization in New York City. Our mission is “to educate and empower promising underserved youth to be leaders, champions and student-athletes by developing the skills necessary for success in high school, college and life.” We are located at Major R. Owens Health & Wellness Community Center in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Our facility includes three basketball courts, classrooms, offices, tutoring rooms, and meeting spaces.

New Heights provides intensive, long-term support for promising young athletes from underserved communities to develop the academic skills, leadership abilities and character traits necessary to succeed beyond sports.
