MISSION: Pittsburgh Hardball Academy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit youth advocacy organization that strives to enrich the lives of youth in the Greater Pittsburgh area. We have an intent focus on empowering underrepresented populations. We deliver meaningful enrichment programming to create positive and transformative outcomes on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. Our vision is to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive landscape across our region. DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION: We serve youth from a variety of backgrounds, neighborhoods, and income levels. While Pittsburgh Hardball Academy is open to all, we maintain an intent focus on accessibility and delivery for underrepresented youth and communities. PROGRAMMING: We provide affordable and accessible baseball programming for youth including specialized training, summer travel teams, and focused college advisement & recruiting services. Furthermore, via our FOCUS (Facilitating Opportunities for College and Universal Success) Program, we provide year-round academic enrichment, career readiness and social enrichment for middle school, high school and young adult participants. RESULTS: Since the organizations inception, over 30 graduating seniors have accepted scholarships to continue their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level. In addition, several of our graduates have completed college and continued their professional careers, on and off the field. Additional details on our mission, programming, student-athletes, and partner organizations can be found on our website: www.pittsburghhardball.org
